Maybe I need to stop reading thrillers? The first twist felt very obvious from the start and while I didn't see the second one coming I didn't feel shocked by it, but I've tried not to be too harsh because I think this is more to do with overexposure to the genre than the quality of this book.

that ending was SO WELL DONE. if someone had told me to be patient because it’d eventually be worth it… I’d have enjoyed the story a lot more. nonetheless, I still liked it. I was just so irritated up until the point when everything begins to make sense because I wanted answers so bad. but let me tell you, it IS worth your time; you just have to push through the confusion and slight boredom to get to the part when everything starts to come together! it’s literally like a puzzle - it’s tedious at first but once you can start to see the puzzle pieces creating the image it’s so satisfying and motivates you to keep going!!

I can only write a bad review by being direct, so...I didn’t like it. I thought there were places where the writing was inventive. Finn has a way with words and definitely liked playing around with his penchant for metaphor. I was fine with that. I like a good metaphor, and I love descriptive language.

But even though Anna’s background is tragic, I thought the execution was overdramatized. I was also supremely disappointed with the plot twist. I didn’t see it coming, but when the big reveal happened it felt unnatural. And I wanted Anna to be as compelling as Finn tried to make her, but I found her too underwhelming to carry a book as long as this one.

I don’t know, it just wasn’t my bottle of merlot.
