I really liked this at the start. The fatphobia about 20% of the way through soured me and felt like bad writing. It never got me fully on board again after that. I found that the reveals in the ending weren’t seeded very well throughout the story, and, so, fell pretty flat

The story itself is very unique. However, I was confused throughout most of it, which is why I gave it a lower rating. It was difficult keeping track of the different characters and their personalities. The concept was good though.

loved it, the characters and the plot were intriguing, and i loved the different perspectives of the characters and the groundhog day style setting. but i felt like there was too much going on and i couldnt really keep track of any of the characters except anna and evelyn.

Every puzzle piece draws you closer to the answer, but not in the way you think.
My advice: Don't try too hard to solve it, play along with the main character as the story unfolds - the ending is worth it.
