Absolutely stellar! The ending twist was so good. The audiobook was good but a little confusing on who was who at times. Grateful I didn’t google the list of names and spoil myself.

I loved it until the very last part. But definitely worth reading. The audiobook was ok. I wish they used a male and female narrator or at least the narrator changed voice pitch during the male characters parts. It was sometimes hard to follow who was speaking because they all sound pretty much the same. There are many different characters so this was important.
