This book has a killer premise and I really wanted to like it, but it’s very overwritten and far too dour and bleak for how gleefully fun and inventive its central hook is.

Love the idea and buildup but found the ending profoundly uninteresting

The mystery was good and the plot twist was pretty unexpected, but the clues were all there which was nice. i did feel like the ending wasn’t given the proper amount of time as the realizations and solution came all at once at the last 10 pages of the book… I also didn’t feel like Anna got enough spotlight in the plot for the reader to fall in love with her or be attrached to her. I didn’t really know if I wanted to root for her or not + felicity coming in at the end felt very random. Overall, the build up, world setting, and plot felt well executed, just the conclusion and the final reveal didn’t feel as well thought out.

I think I spent half the book wondering what the heck was going on! Its a twisty murder mystery stuck in a time loop, like Groundhog Day had a murderous baby. I really did like it up until the big reveal, then I was just confused about who Evelyn really was, how they figured that out even? I felt like if they had fleshed out the ending a bit more it would have stuck the landing better.

I want to give a half star or three-quarter review but good reads doesn’t do that, so just pretend that this book has a 3.5 star rating lol

This book is fun and fast paced. It keeps you on your toes. When you think you know who killed Evelyn, turns out you really don’t. If you want a quick, fun murder mystery read then this book is the perfect one for you!

thisreaderlylife's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH: 64%

It got way too confusing and bogged down in the body switching and time travel elements. I got lost and so bored. I just looked up
Who the murder was and still didn’t care.
