DID NOT FINISH

I love a book with an unreliable narrator. This was a very good quick read to get me out of a reading slump.

I'm thinking this is more of a 3.5 than a 4, but it was such a page turner that I went with the 4. I need to sit down and process my thoughts on it all before an actual review. Some of the characters really irked me, but the plot kept my attention throughout the book.

Although it kept me engaged, this book was arduous. There was not a single character to “like”. Maybe that was the point. Toward the end, before the big “twist” I was struggling to continue. I’m giving it 3 stars because the ending did surprise me, however I felt as though there could have been less character development…everyone is shitty, we get it.
slow-paced

All the MC's are toxic, and it felt like Anna was the only normal person.

I could see the twist ending coming. I wasn't a fan of Rachel's character, but maybe that was exactly the point. Overall, still pretty good and I'd recommend it.
