I hate that I knew the twist so early on. Not that it wasn't well hidden. I just have that innate ability to read the endings. Thankfully, I do my best not to share them with the crowd. Le sigh. 3.5 stars

In the final pages of this book, I caught myself listening to Taylor Swift’s Innocent a lot. Amazing story, a very cathartic read.

Just didn’t care about the characters enough to figure out the end. And had a book on my TBR list available
