3.5
That aside, this was a fun book - I read it as part of an office book club, I don't think I'd have come across it otherwise but I'm glad I did. I enjoyed how twisty and turny it was, there were so many twists that I think it'd be practically impossible to predict all of them. I do feel like there were some parts that were unexplored, for example I feel like
Overall it was probably a 3.5 for me - interestingly, as a book club we gave it an average of 3.78! I definitely really liked talking about it in book club, and it added a lot to my experience of the book.
