2.5/5 stars I alternated between being bored and being sucked in, but more often bored.

First book of ‘22

Found the story hard to put down, but found the ending disjointed and a bit abrupt. I feel like I need to process this book for a few days before I really figure out my thoughts.

Attempted for my personal Jewish/AAPI readathon for May.

I'm on page 22 of Ivy's backstory being told in unnecessary detail waiting for the thriller to begin. The back half might be amazing, but if you're gonna do suspense, it would behoove you to, idk, be suspenseful? Begin as close to the inciting incident as possible? Girl I'm bored and I don't have time to waste on this lol.
