3.0

I love the “Nothing man” and I was really excited when this one was announced. 
For being a thriller it took me ages to read. 
Unnecessary descriptions, repetitive scenes, so you will read the same scene from both point of view, that makes the book really slow. In some parts I just skipped them. 
I ended up bored to dead. Hating everybody. 
And WTF the last 20% is like plot twist + plot twist + plot twist.
I feel like this story was written in a rush just to make it fit in the first stages of the pandemic.
