Well…that ended in a way that I didn’t expect it to. Which I guess is the point. Even after all that, I am not clear on the “Milk Man” lol. How did Shirley come to know about him? Like how did a kid “game” turn into all of this?? Lol.

"2stars" is kind of generous, but I didn't completely hate it, so less than 2 didn't seem fair. 

...Idk. The ending kind of saved it, but I just really didn't enjoy this. It was too long, for one, and very monotonous throughout a good chunk of the middle. Just past the halfway mark, realized that I did not care at all who the murderer was. I didn't like any of the characters, and I was extremely bored. This book was very boring. Its only saving grace is that it was an absolutely NOT predictable at all, and the ending twists were very creative. That saved it from being a complete dud for me. Still, I wasn't entertained at all. Despite all of that, I do want to give the author a second chance. I can tell she's a good writer. This one just wasn't for me.
