I didn't finish this book. I kept trying to push myself through it to get it done for book club, but I just couldn't make it. I've heard the second half of the book is better than the first, but I can't review books in pieces. It's all or nothing for me, and if after 176 pages the characters are still unlikeable and unsympathetic, the plot is annoying and contrived, the writing is flowery and pretentious, and the metaphors are obvious and disturbing, then I don't care how amazing the second half is supposed to be- I'm not going to continue wasting my precious reading time in hopes of redemption.
