challenging dark emotional mysterious sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes

5.0

I’m pleasantly surprised by how many twists & turns are in this novel (after reading The Night Shift)— I literally gave up on trying to figure out the guilty party. I enjoyed this book much much more!

2.5

Finalmente l'ho finito.

La storia di per sé non è brutta, ma non ho particolarmente apprezzato le diverse timelines parallele, cosa che soprattutto all'inizio ha reso lo sviluppo della storia e il ritmo strano, e non in maniera positiva. Non ho neanche neanche particolarmente tutti i diversi punti di vista presenti.

La cosa che ha salvato il libro è il finale, che ho trovato coinvolgente e abbastanza sensato.
