This was a fun weekend read. The pivots and twists were unexpected and fun to read. I found the ending to have a high self importance of self for the main character that wasn’t justified by the characters past.

Such an intense book. From page one, you hit the ground running with the characters, not knowing what’s happening but so intrigued that you’re compelled to help them figure it out. This book is mysterious, thrilling, and full of love. I really enjoyed the plot arc and the characters are loveable even in the face of difficult decisions.

I read this for a book club and it was okay. I liked the prosaic writing style. The plot was interesting but it didn’t really have enough twists to keep me at the edge of my seat or anything, so it was slightly disappointing.
