Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I’m floored by the overwhelming praise for this book. I wanted to like it, but I found the writing childlike and the abuse-at-every-turn exhausting. Most of the characterization is paper-thin and many of the people in the book seem like stereotypes. At the end of the story, Nori’s life-changing decisions seem rushed. There’s nothing to add to the reader’s understanding of why she does what she does. I finished the book but I was very disappointed. In the end, it was formulaic and not a story I will remember or think about.
