time loop amnesia murder mystery on steroids

this was a lot and while the story was interesting, i did consider DNF-ing it around 50-70% mark (i probably would have gone through with it if it wasn't a mystery book and if i weren't so nosey lmao)

im both glad that i stuck through to read the ending AND im glad that im finally done with it

i might add more specific thoughts here later idk

i picked up this book while i was house-sitting, and i saw it on the shelf. i was looking for a distraction from my dissertation, and thought that i’d give this a go. it’s not my usual read, but i was looking for any excuse to avoid writing. and this book has by far surpassed ALL of my expectations. 

 a time-travel, body-swapping, murder mystery set in a kind-of-real-but-also-kind-of-fantasy-world, The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle was Murder-of-Roger-Ackroyd level INSANE. it’s easy to read, but will squish your brain into a thousand tiny pieces. 

i don’t feel like i can say too much regarding the actual story, as i don’t want to give away anything by mistake. but, i can say that this is one of the most enjoyable, engaging books that i have read in a long time. i read it in less than 24 hours, and i know i’ll read it again. 

also, as a neurospicy person, this novel felt *achieveable*. there are, like, 60 chapters, and they don’t feel very long, so every time you finish a chapter you get a little dopamine hit!

 Super cool concept and delivery!

 Although it did have some moments that seemed to drag, I loved the different perspectives, and plot twists!
