As others have said, the plot is predictable. I figured out the mystery about halfway through. This author hated all her characters. Also, she especially hates the South. If you hate a region, don't send your characters to it. Her depiction was what she'd read in Northern newspapers and online about the South. Terrible. Skip this one.

For a book about an entirely unique plot, this was one of the most predictable books I’ve read

Feels like a fun mixture
The Plotters
,
Yellowface
, and
Gone Girl
. It was fun. I truly enjoyed
villain main characters
, that ends really badly for them. Looking forward to the sequel.

Enjoyable read, Jake was an unlikeable narrator, but the twist at the end was pretty good.

I'm DNFing this book at 37%.

I tried, I really tried. Is it the worse book I've ever read? no, that's why I gave it a 2 instead of the normal 1 star I give to DNFs but it's just not interesting enough to continue on when I have 10 other books I would rather be reading.

Maybe one day I will pick this up and try again, but, for now... I'm gonna let it go.
