Definitely keep reading. I felt that way too until at least a third of the way through. Loved it by the end.

@Michelle I just finished it. I’m so happy I pushed through. I tried watching the movie on Amazon but it’s in a foreign language. So I did not watch it. Lol. But the book was amazingly good!!
