The main character was winey and described his boss as fat in all the ways possible like he was fixated on that

An easy, quick read up to 70% then just an overwhelming amount of exposition and a twist in the last chapter that there had been no clues towards and was completely unsatisfying.

I liked the use of sleep disorders and the idea of a person committing a crime in their sleep, and finding out if they are guilty or not. But after Anna is woken up, that is when the story started to get boring for me. I think around the 50% is where I started to get bored and confused.

I am not sure how I feel about this book, the beginning of it was really good but kind of fell flat at the end. I am still confused on the ending and why
Clara framed all of these people for what happened to her mom + how did she know Ben was going to fit all of this when they got married in the first place...
I think there were a lot of holes that weren't answered, leaving me unsatisfied at the end of the book.
