It’s an okay book. The overall premise of the mystery hooked me from the jump and then it was all down hill from there.

The main character was unrealistic and unsubtle in so many ways. The progression of

her developing suspicions to her basically stalking every other character was 0 to 100% in 30 seconds

and it makes no sense. you could chalk this up to writing style, but I’ve never disliked a character so much before. I don’t think I was ever rooting for her as a singular character, except maybe at the very beginning. Even by chapter 2 I was hoping she failed in her endeavors and would never get her answers.

Whatever you think is happening in the book, I can almost guarantee it’s more interesting than what’s actually happening.

Repetitive. My lort, so repetitive.

This could have been so much better. All of the building blocks were there to make this a phenomenal thriller - instead, it was 200 pages of useless dribble leading up to a less than climactic twist and a sub par ending.

Zannah is a champ. We love Zannah.
And Tilly.

I went into this really hoping for some weird, Sci-fi esque story about clones and ended up with a pretty upsetting (and not in a good way) domestic abuse story. Ugh.

This was fucking weird. It was a fine book. The beginning was a bit repetitive, the middle totally grabbed me and I was excited to read it, and then for me the end flopped. (Physical)
