I found the characters confusing at first, but then got into the story further and was able to empathise with the narrative. Some good twists to keep the story going and developed a thriller story.

I really liked elements of this book but thought it fell a bit flat overall.

This book did not turn out to be what I was expecting which made it all the more enjoyable. I don't generally enjoy covid being included in a fiction story but this was done softly enough that it didn't overtake the story.
