3.0

This book had me up until 3/4 of the way. The ending did make me go wtf but not in a pleasing way. It’s too long and slow for me to have been pysched for the ending(I actually felt relieved that it was done.) Louise annoyed me and of course none of them are reliable so believing any of them is  far fetched. I recommend the audio if you want to get through this at a faster pace.

3.0

This book was a whirlwind read, enthralling and addictive like the characters that are within, but shocking and completely mind-boggling. After finishing the book I can now attest to the claim on the front cover of the "the most shocking ending you'll read all year". You will definitely deduce what the ending will be, but only from piecing together pieces of the puzzle placed throughout the story, right from the beginning. This is, if you're paying attention.

It was an interesting plot and I enjoyed listening to the audible, but it was just too slow for my liking. There was not a whole lot of excitement or thrills throughout the book
