Overall, it was okay. Two stars for the first 200-250 pages but the last 100ish just didn’t work.

I think Lucy says it best, “I am not responsible for the fake version of me you created in your head.”

While I did really enjoy this book, especially the portions I listened to (full cast audiobook production was super neat!), the overall story just fell a bit flat for me. It was a unique story and reminded me of None of This is True by Lisa Jewell, but it felt pretty slow at times despite the different writing styles mixed in. I also didn’t really care for any of the characters, which I know isn’t the goal of most mystery/thriller books. There was a theme of abuse that was among quite a few of characters that I didn’t care for and was hard to read, especially because it came through in many aspects of the story- I knew that was a part of the story but it didn’t come into play until about 40% and I already felt hooked into the story. I get the characters are supposed to be morally gray, but it felt like there weren’t any characters I could really root for in the story.
