Disappointing. I liked the story but the structure was so weird the way it was split up into real time and like a letter writing…?? It was hard to stay focused cause it kept changing

Clever, layered, and completely original. A mystery within a mystery that plays with structure and storytelling in a unique way. This whodunit makes you wonder what’s real, what’s fiction, and what lies in-between.

Well that just felt like a waste of my time. What could have been a good mystery fell so flat and it felt like the author was confused writing the whole thing. It was disjointed and felt like two distinct stories rather than blending seamlessly and neither story was fleshed out with a decent ending. There were so many grammatical and spelling errors, it was a mess.

A very interesting layered structure and compelling characters, with a side of social commentary and an ominous ending.

The premise was intriguing, and the concept definitely had potential. However, the dialogue was cringy and incomplete, the vocabulary felt very young and inexperienced, the editing/proofing was horrendous, and there were numerous time line plot holes. I almost DNFd it a handful of times, but I’m no quitter so I stuck it out. Will be keeping it strictly for the title and the cover.

This is a book within a book.
Author Hannah is writing a Mystery novel about four strangers thrown together amid a crisis.
Each person has a reason for being there. And one of them is a killer.

After Hannah finishes each chapter she sends it to her number one fan - Leo.
Leo adds a unique point of view along with suggestions and some criticism.

I loved this format and this double story was so fun to read. I can’t even decide which story I liked best. It was such a unique style and I would definitely recommend this one
