Was I entertained by this book? Absolutely
Did I like the characters? Absolutely not. Not a single one. (Maybe that’s the point?)
Was the narrator reliable? Nope. Not one bit.
Was the timeline a chaotic mess of jumping here and there? Yep
I will say I enjoyed this take on the murder on an island in a small party of people trope. (It’s been done a lot. At least this is original)
