In all honesty, it just wasn't for me. I appreciate the book but it was just an okay kinda read for me. I'll explain why...The writing. I couldn't get into it. That being said the writing isn't that bad its just different and not my style. I had a hard time reading and this book took me two weeks to read through because of this. Characters, they factor into this as well as plot. The overall concept of the book is awesome. But I didn't "feel" as much as I wanted to. At the beginning I felt for Kia. During the end I felt for Kia and Sam but all the stuff in-between, nada. I'm not sure if it was the writing or the characters but something made me disconnect with them and I couldn't reconnect for anything. The plot, this plays into the whole thing as well. When we start to wonder why Sam is the way Sam is, and then having being said that, when we find out why he is the way he is... it wasn't what I thought it was going to be. I didn't think it was that big of a deal. To each their own.Another constant was that the book is SUPER LONG. Yes, its about the size of 3 books or 2 books. I felt like it shouldn't have been no where near this long, it was and it drew out long. For me, it seemed repetitive. A lot more could have been said in less words or even different words. Even with all of this, it just wasn't for me. The entire thing. It ended up going on my okay read list because of everything mentioned above. I really just wanted the book to get better or end and the ending couldn't come fast enough.
