It took a hot minute to get going but soon the story sucked me in. The characters are a mess who make a lot of bad choices but I found them interesting none the less. I liked the way to the story unfolds and kept me guessing.

I literally got to the last few chapters and I went “ah I know where this is going”. No the fuck you don’t. You think you do, but you absolutely do not.
All I can say is this book is crazy - between 2 unreliable narrators, time jumps, and secrets, it leaves you guessing until the end. The twist is unexpected in the best way, because it takes everything you thought you knew and turns it on its head. The ending bumps my star rating from like a 3 to a 3.5

It was very slow, the characters aren't loveable and it's so frustrating because it could have been a 5 stars book. I had the wrong expectation of the book going in, thinking it was more of a thriller but really more of a suspense, mystery and paranormal element to it. It does require a suspension of disbelief (a lot of it), which I am generally fine with if it had been executed flawlessly.
It's just a book with forgettable plot because... there was nothing to remember in the first place...
