Disappointed
I really wanted to like this book, and yes, I gave it 3 out of five stars. I don’t tend to mind too much when I’m reading a book with two timelines. I like getting the insight from the previous events that lead to the current events. But it just took so long for this book to actually have anything happen.
One positive – some of the quotes. Such as:
- “Pity fades with age, hate is lost and found, but guilt can last a lifetime.”
- “Sometimes we have to let go of what we had in order to hold on to what we’ve got.”
- “Love is as instinctive as breathing, but we don’t have to give it away. Like our breath, we can hold onto it if we choose to. But not forever. Because then it starts to hurt.”
