I received an e-copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I don't think I enjoyed this novel as much as I wanted to, and as much as I hate writing negative reviews, I guess I do have to write one after all.
Things I liked:
-The title and the cover. How creative, right? It's just very appealing. It's actually what lead me to read this book.
And that list just sort of ends there.
Things I didn't like:
-The main character. Veronica was very, very naive and annoying. She was just.. no.
-The whole story and its plot organization. Throughout this whole story, I was just waiting for it to become interesting. Like, okay, where is this going?
I'll admit that I scanned the last few chapters, but I'm not sure if they were worth reading or not. Guess I'll never find out..
Nonetheless, you might enjoy and it or you might not.
