This is an easy, quick read.
The ending was rushed.
It's basically a sort of mind fucking plot. But it isn't because a lot of it was predictable. I also found the setting wasn't clear and strange, as well as the plot having too many holes.

The cheating husband was an asshole. But he didn't deserve this ending.

Normal people would just divorce.

But I get it. I do.

Yet, it is just psychopathic.
The wife killed the misstress and framed her husband for it.
Her partner, who she ends up having a kid with and marrying a day after her husband's execution, also crazy

Up until the last hour everything felt rushed and chaotic. But that last hours in the story with the "plot"twist was rushed and just sick. 

Lastly this felt like a low budget bad murder mysterie show.

this book was fantastically written; kept me on the edge of my seat throughout its duration, but left something to be desired with the ending. it was lackluster and docked a star from the rating. had very good potential, but it still one i’ll definitely recommend. draws you in and holds your attention well. a really good binge book

Wooowwww. I am still in shock. I thought I really knew what was going to happen, but shockingly, I was wrong. Such a great read. I could not put the book down. This is the first book I have read from this author, and I truly enjoyed it. I heard many good things about this book, and all were true. This is a read you don’t want to miss out on because it is the perfect marriage 💍🩸

The book was immediately interesting, but the writing was….…..cringy and lazy, at times. I have more questions now than before. 

The surplus of unnecessary details was the most frustrating thing (other than Adam, just being a yuck character). So many plot points were left unaddressed; contributing to a sense of unresolved intricacies

It was a page turner and kept me guessing, so I was willing to overlook the issues. But  the ending plot twist was just huh? It felt like the author just wanted whatever has the biggest shock factor versus adding hints and details to the story.
