Was enjoyable, wish some things were explored more rather than quickly wrapped up at the end.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 Half way through the book I was suspecting everyone, that’s when you know it’s good. You have absolutely no clue how it’s going to end and you can’t put it down. I loved the different perspectives across different time lines. This book is incredibly well written and the plot is revealed in the perfect order and timing.
