I loved this book.

Although the action takes its time, everything kinda slowly evolves, this story is brilliantly written and keeps the reader hooked till the end. Think about twists and turns! This book has them all.

Usually, a book is a huge turn off for me when I cannot connect with any of the characters. Somehow, this story, these characters, are different. They are all very hateful, still I just kept reading because I could not put this book down.

I cannot recommend this book enough. It was an amazing read just in time to finish the year.

I am very pleasantly surprised by how shocking this book turns out to be. It is a little bit slow here and there but it really really ramps up at the end. I was flying through it so fast, so many pieces of the puzzle falling together. It feels like a rollercoaster ride, loop after loop, giant stomach turning hill after hill. All throughout the book I was coming up with possibilities and attempting to figure the characters & their true selves out. I was worried everything would end up being so obvious, but apparently nothing was obvious because I didn’t get a single theory correct lol. This book is really well written. It truly is suspenseful & shocking! I think it would be great to read the book a second time to fully connect all the dots.

Slow build with only the final 2 chapters clarifying all the plot gaps. Author really just dumped all the context that the ending should have had into a “letter” and a independent thought stream. Felt lazy at the end
