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.

1/5 stars or 2/10 just for that interesting first half.
I was enjoying the beginning a lot but this was so predictable, i think i fell asleep a couple times. Not sure how or why so many people love it.
