All in all, this book was pretty good. I was under the impression that it was a murder mystery, which it definitely was not. It was definitely slow moving, and it took a while to really get into it. It was not my favorite of her books by any means, but it was a fun read.

It was a bit of a slog. Probably could've been sped up with fewer perspectives.

Kinda lightly psychological, like someone noticed her other books have been successful and made into a tv show and said, can you do a lighter version of what you usually do? I think a lot of people will find it entertaining and interesting. I had enough interest to finish but wasn’t really captivated.
