First of all, a bit of credit I personally have to give to this book because it's the first book I've managed to finish since having the worst reading slump of my life.
And secondly, I truly enjoyed the writing. Smooth, fast paces without sacrificing too much depth and some promising characterisation here and there. I also found that the mystery unravels and twists in ways that I could not call out, apart from a couple of things. What he does not do so well is give us enough smart clues, as I honestly believe that some twists just hit you because you simply could never have seen them coming. Somehow, I also found the re-living the whole day thingy messy and no matter how much he explained, I just couldn't wrap my mind fully around it (yes, I did consider the possibility that I'm just too dumb to get it). Some characters the main character inhabits are also pretty useless for the most part and they just add pages that were not necessary.
I also did not give it a four because I simply disagreed with the decision of the main character. I'd not be so forgiving or trustworthy of A and I don't believe someone like that could change in the way the author wanted us to believe she might have. So the whole "is all good now we will go away together and live happily ever after" narrative left me a bit sceptical.
The author has absolutely won me over however and I will be happy to read more from him.
