I agree with you... Maybe the author should consider improving the pace of the first pages so that readers may not be put off.KCWolf wrote: ↑06 May 2020, 11:20 I felt that it dragged a little at the beginning, and it was a little confusing in its jump between characters and POVs. I was 28% into the book before I really got into the story, but I liked the way we got to know Hillary and her family before jumping into the more interesting pieces of the plot.

Honestly, I didn't even realize this is a series ( maybe because I haven't read it's reviews). If that's the case, then starting the series from book one will surely do the trick.Mrunalpatki wrote: ↑04 May 2020, 00:17 I think we should follow the series through to get a good hang of all the author's books.

The same thought crossed my mind... I hope the author is taking note of it.

So this isn't a standalone after all?AntonelaMaria wrote: ↑26 Mar 2020, 13:41I think I fully understood the book after finished it. I had trouble at the beginning too. I credit it due to the fact that this is a series after all, so maybe I missed out on not reading previous books.Princepetr10 wrote: ↑26 Mar 2020, 06:49 At the beginning of the book , i had difficulties in understanding . The first few pages seemed heavy for me . As I struggled reading , I began to enjoy it and got the Rhythm of the book . The writer used this pattern and tools to capture the readers .

Funny that I didn't like the slow pace, especially at the beginning of the book, but readers are different and looks like our preference is contrasting.Raycheal+2020 wrote: ↑26 Mar 2020, 15:06 The style of the author was new to me. I felt confused at first. I had to start go over to the beginning twice. But I loved the slowed paced way she told the story.
