badcushion's review against another edition

I started to write a review but then I got distracted by a better book and it’s just not worth redoing. This book is characters being shoved around like puppets for an overpacked plot. I can see why it might be a good tv show, where someone can stretch out the action and write characters to be more like people.  But you can probably pass on the book. Especially if you are not an enjoyer of multiple suicides (three in what I read, though one was clearly a murder, and then two more historic…like, i get that it’s dark and all but….that’s a lot of suicides for one book. Yikes.)

This book kept me on the edge of my seat throughout - so many cliffhangers and plot twists! I enjoyed how the story unfolded and I was invested in it, but there isn’t much deeper meaning here. I haven’t watched the TV show yet but I plan to!
