I ended up reading a summary breakdown of the book instead of actually reading it because of these reasons. And even going through the breakdown, I was still left uninterested.

I was actually spoiled for the 'big twist' in this one but I still wanted to read it to see why it was so divisive. Knowing the twist, it made me see the writing choice quite easily and thought, had I not been spoiled, it was quite well done as
I listened to this one on audio which was narrated again by the brilliant Stephanie Racine, I always enjoy her narration and think it improved the experience of this book.

The last maybe third of the book flew by for me. I had a few predictions on what the twist would be and I didn’t fully figure it out, which is always nice.
It loses a few points for me just because I’m not a big fan of what the final twist was in books

Alice Feeney is surely the queen of dualpovs and plottwists.
Even though I was really invested in this story, I didn't like it as much as her other books.
Don't get me wrong, it was still a masterpiece, but something spoiled it for me (the ending).
All in all it was a great read, by a great writer and I look forward to reading more of her stories.
