My rating for this book is a 2 because the book is bland in my opinion and does not have intensive detail. This book failed to get my interest and I believe the main reason was not enough detail and the plot was very predictable.

I personally did not like this book. It felt way longer than it should have been. This book did not flow very well and felt fragmented. The plot seemed odd also, considering how she randomly traveled back to the past. I didn’t really like the characters either, they did not seem very redeeming. I would rate this book a 2/5.
