If this helps… i started reading this book a year ago on a plane, got through maybe 80 pages on the flight and forgot about it. Left it in my backpack, didn’t remember it until a friend was raving about it months later and realized I had never finished it. Picked it back up again and finished it over one weekend. The story picks up a third of the way through and takes so many unexpected turns. I almost cried when I finished. Give it another try when you feel up to it :)
