lwiggett's review against another edition

I didn’t really like any of the characters, too much to unpack and too many sub plots I could see building. I didn’t like the writing style either, or understand the splitting of the book into 3 parts when it ending up going chronological with flashbacks anyways despite the splitting. Also within the different parts you would think that it would follow the POV of the person that each parts “truth” related to but it kind of bounced all over the place. Overall just not my cup of tea.

i really wanted to enjoy this book because well the plot was interesting but frankly it could've been written better 😵‍💫 it was confusing and messy along the way and the ending was pretty abrupt. all the characters were irritating imo 😭
