I absolutely love how focused we are on the characters and the different layers that they have to them. I feel like we got to know Daisy even better in this. We got to know Christian even better.

It resulted in me not feeling super connected to Alice, to Hayden, and to Margaret. And yeah, it kind of just took away from the whole experience and I unfortunately felt a little bit bored.

I appreciated it. I thought it was great writing and I highly recommend this book. I just didn't feel personally and emotionally invested in the outcomes for everybody.

I really did enjoy this story. I can't decide what to rate it. Maybe I'll put a rating on the screen, maybe I won't.

I ended up giving this book a three star. Keep in mind, everyone in my book club, almost everybody gave it like a 4.5 to five star because they're diehard Hunger Games fans and I get it. But for me, I again loved Hayitch, but I didn't love the how the book was broken up.

But I definitely appreciate this book as a work of literature. Wasn't my favorite. I gave it a three because objectively it's a good book, but it just I wasn't the audience for it.

I thought it was the sweetest story. I really enjoyed reading this. I will say I did listen to a lot of it on audio.
