Couldn't finish the book. The book is wasn't for me. I just couldn't get into the book. The characters were boring to me. And I had no interest in seeing how the book ended.
This book was okay i enjoyed some of it I wish I enjoyed it more,
I loved the twist on this classic story so much.
Was a fantastic read, and kept me guessing the whole time.
Unfortunately this book just really didn't work for me. I really didn't enjoy the writing style - I found it very hard to connect with.
I also thought this had possibly the worst case of insta-love I have ever read. These characters are so completely into each other before they even speak to each other. I can appreciate that teenage love can be quick and intense but this was a just ridiculous.
I was also very unclear what the purpose of the Wizard of Oz quotes and cover art was. I understand that the author was not intending to do any kind of re-telling. It still made no sense whatsoever and I felt that it just muddied the story.
I feel that this could have been a 1 star story but I really do appreciate the dark subject matter that the author was attempting to deal with here, while it really didn't work for me, and I thought it was poorly executed, I think it is important to have authors telling these stories.
This book was completely different than what I thought I was getting into. It dealt with extremely difficult topics and I found myself wanting more. I didn't really feel any connection towards The Wizard of Oz, so that through me off a little. But the story as whole: plot, characters, hard topics...it was a really great read.
