![]() ![]() The closest I came to it was with Eva (who's point-of-view the story was told in). The story is original and Kat Zhang's writing style is wonderful, but I did not find myself connecting with the characters. ![]() There's not as much set-up as there is in a lot of other books in the genre and we are able to get directly into the story a lot sooner. However, I can see where this would be refreshing for some readers. Unfortunately, information about this world was given only on an as needed basis. I found myself very curious about the world it was taking place in and wanting to learn more. To be honest, the setting of the book almost had me more interested than the actual story itself. The whole premise is very different from anything else I've read in the same genre this year and Kat Zhang does a very good job with it. However, I honestly feel that if I would have picked up What's Left of Me before my current contemporary addiction, I would have really loved it. I had also just filled my e-reader with a ton of fantastic looking new adult contemporaries that I'm super anxious to break into! All of those factors combined, I felt rushed and forced to get through this book and was never quite able to get fully immersed into the story. When What's Left of Me came in for me at the library after being on hold for weeks, I new I had to read it now or risk never giving it a chance again. I've been on a huge contemporary, mainly new adult contemporary, binge lately and I can't get enough. This was a case of a good book but at a bad time. ![]()
