Those twists were ridiculous. There was so much potential for this book but by the midway point, the author started repeating herself, going in circles. I’m all for unreliable narrators but this was not done well. At all.
And to make it worse, there’s philosophical stuff all over the book, which normally I wouldn’t mind because yay depth, but it was literally shoved down your throat. It’s fake substance. It simply ain’t that deep.
All in all, I’m glad I got to read this book through my library because if I paid for this book, I would’ve had to do a chargeback on my card.
