I don’t really know how to feel about this book. I really expected and wanted to love this but it kind of fell flat to me. I liked the concept but so many other factors were disappointing to me. I didn’t like any of the characters, the plot “twists” weren’t really surprising at all, the backstories between the brother and the other people were unrealistic, some parts of the book are mentioned once and never given further explanation, and the ending didn’t really sit right with me. Despite this, I absolutely loved the multiple pov’s which allowed us insight to each characters minds. It was also a quick and overall fun read. A part of this book reminded me of knives out.

I hated this book. There is so much to hate about it, but I’ll pick some of the most important elements. The characters all sucked. Not even in the way that they’re supposed to be unlikable, though I suppose they are. They’re just not interesting to read about. They all felt super one dimensional and boring. Also, there’s so much misogyny in this book you would assume it was written by a man. So much gets boiled down to “women are crazy, am I right”, which was super frustrating to read.

Also, the fact that LITERALLY EVERYONE was in love with Ben was horrible. It just felt so unrealistic and so unnecessary, and it was just bad writing too

On top of all this, there was a lot of unnecessary remarks that were completely unrelated to the plot, but were extremely upsetting. There was a lot of casual biphobia that was never addressed. There was also a weirdly graphic metaphor about self harm, which was super unnecessary. I tagged it as minor in my content warnings because it only came up once, but it was more detailed than it needed to be. All in all, I thought this book was a challenge to read and I do not recommend it at all.
