Everything was predictable, and the storyline was all over the place.

A little far fetched, but the twists and turns certainly grab your attention. The characters felt hollow and motives were unclear, but the action keeps the plot hurtling forward in the 2nd half.

Autoarea a scris cărți mai bune decât asta.
Sau cel puțin a scris finaluri mai satisfăcătoare decât ce ne-a oferit aici.
Totuși, cartea e una captivantă, plină de plot twist-uri interesante și merită citită.
Pentru mine finalul ei a fost problema. Prea superficial scris, prea grăbit ( asta după ce a scris 77 de capitole, cu perspective diferite și a creat suspans și așteptări până la cer).

Enough twists and turns that I remained interested, but this book could have been 150 pages shorter and accomplished the same thing. There was so much exposition and yet the characters, setting, etc. still didn’t feel developed. The story itself was interesting, but how it was told kind of fell flat for me.

I checked this out yesterday at work and read it all in one day. My only regret is I don’t have another new Sarah Pinborough book to read straight away.
