The book is written in a free verse style and I struggled to click with it at times. The author’s writing style wasn’t for me, but that doesn’t mean the book was bad. I liked what I read and may come back to it at another time.

I've been pretty busy with work and unfortunately this book fell to the wayside. I will pick this book up when I have more downtime to focus on it.

This book feels like a drawn out game of telephone. Just when you feel like the story can't get anymore ridiculous; it does!
I most likely won't read this book again, but it was definitely a wild ride.
