tense medium-paced

1.0

full of unlikable characters without many redeeming qualities - not much to like. Interesting plot twist and structure, disappointing ending and empty characters. I couldn’t get over the unchecked racism and fat phobia. Nope.

• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

I finished this, but I'm not sure that I had to. Everything felt very formulaic and kind of unbelievable. It lacked that "what???" feeling that you hope to get from a thriller/mystery.
