Not sure how to rate this one. I picked it up because of the “hype” and didn't really look into what it was so for the first 15/20% of the book I had no idea what was going on.

The trapped aspect of it wasn't bad but the part about the father and the family drama just fell very flat for me and I often found myself just wanting the story to move along already. Ultimately, I didn't hate it, but I just didn't really care for it either. There's a lot of back and forth in time which I really couldn't stand. Some of the characters' idiosyncrasies were kinda funny and I think that characterization was really one of the strongest aspects of this book.

That being said, I can see why someone would love this book and it's not a bad book by any means. I think it's time for me to admit that Kraus might just be one of these authors that aren't for me so take this review with a grain of salt.

Neutral 2.5 rounded up.
