the premise was a little thin, and the reveal wrapped up way too quickly imo! but i loved how every other chapter picked up the perspective of a character introduced in the previous chapter. (although the payoff of this really only existed in a few of those chapters… still cool!)

def preferred her first novel by a mile, but this was an enjoyable read

This story you can't go wrong with. Just read it. But just know every theory you have could possibly be right and wrong at the same time. Phenomenal writing. I will be relistening to this for sure. Loved it.

The cast of characters and story are engrossing.

I liked the point of view shifts between characters. It’s fun to get so many different perspectives.
