I found this so predictable. I think had the description been framed differently it wouldn’t have disappointed me so much

This was a good book! I wanted to give it 4.5 stars because I don’t quiteeee think it’s a 5 star book. Lots of POVs that can be a little confusing in the beginning but toward the end it makes more sense why the author formats it that way and actually does make it more interesting. Definitely a page turner, though nothing actually happens/you don’t find anything out until into the 200s. If you like thriller/mysteries though I would recommend this!

I actually loved this book. I enjoyed reading every perspective and slowly learning the backstory of each character. Would highly recommend.

This book dragged on for so fckn long, someone shoot me in the foot.
Though I did nail the head on the coffin on who killed who, it seemed anticlimactic/way too sped up. Like the author rushed to finish it.
I do, however, think that three of the characters need severe hugs.

incredibly quick novel artificially slowed by shifting POVs that all read quite similarly.
i like the premise of the format, switching between the time of the murder & the day prior, but i don’t think the story was effectively served by not revealing the victim until the end (especially since it’s… kind of obvious who it is). whodunnit is infinitely more interesting a question than who was killed, & considering that large portions of the story were about how awful a person the victim secretly was, the connections between characters would have been just as well, if not better, suited to a more classical mystery format.
i enjoyed the character drama, though i was moderately annoyed by Jules & Hannah being so frequently self-pitying. i wish there was more space for the actual killer & their motivation to have some room to breathe, though. i also wish there was more of Hannah having her good for her moment, or of Jules & Olivia at the end. Hannah & Olivia are the only classically likable characters, though there were a number of bit parts i liked.
ultimately this was better suited to either a different format or a different genre & suffers for it. also, what happened to paul?
