One of the best first chapters of a book I’ve ever read. The rest of the book is fine but doesn’t measure up to the beginning. Worth the read.

Once I was able to keep track of the time jumping, I did enjoy the book. I wanted to piece together who did it quickly.

I guessed early on that Gus was not a real person.

I don’t think Leo’s perspective added much to the story. 

I liked the unexpectedness of Bea’s involvement in the entire ordeal.
