holy. this novel was seriously a wild ride. i was not expecting the amount of turns this would take and the reveals just kept getting better in every chapter. i could NOT put this book down—literally kept thinking about what was happening next. this felt like a mashup of a black mirror episode and shutter island and knives out. so much was happening—and some really scary parts too—which just added even more to the thrill. i will say that im a bit disappointed about the ending because i think there could have been more to really give it a satisfactory conclusion, but aside from that, i seriously loved this book so much. 4/5 stars!

sadly i felt like this didnt hit as hard with the reread. its still a really cool book and very interesting twists. i just saw more holes this time when i read. i also think there was almost too many mysteries and murders that it stopped having the shock factor at a certain point

I really wanted to love this book because I love murder mysteries but it was so convoluted and confusing. This was a groundhog day kind of story and there are so many different characters and the events aren’t told in the order in which they happen. I still liked it but it was pretty hard to follow.

Come for the cool concept. Leave because of the shoddy execution, fatphobia, half-baked commentary on the carceral system, and war criminal apologism.

This was a difficult book to get into, despite it throwing the reader into the adventure right away. It took me a good 150-200 pages to really understand what was going on. There are a lot of characters and timelines to keep track of. However, the plot was very interesting. 

I feel like this could have been a more concise book and the ending could have been a little longer. Overall, it was good.
