I was interested in some of the historical part but it didn't feel fully developed.

I want to read "All That She Carried". Sometimes imaginative books grounded in real history work better for me than fiction.

I find the best time to read books you might find depressing is when you're traveling on a plane, train, or car. It's otherwise a substandard experience, so getting dragged down by a book doesn't make anything worse.
