dark mysterious slow-paced

That was an interesting take on the thriller/crime story, it was definitely more character driven than most in the genre. The writing was really well done, unexpectedly lush and beautiful, and I liked that we were lead through this sweeping tale linearly (I feel like most thrillers these days jump around in time so I’m glad this one avoided the impulse). I did think it was too long, the middle felt bloated and some of the twists and turns felt unnecessary and ultimately confusing. I also disliked how short the chapters were, it was a bit jarring to constantly have minute long chapters via audio. But the ending was satisfying and I do think these characters will stick with me for a while. A read worth the investment!

Holy s**t. This book destroyed me in every way. I cried and gasped and kicked my feet and gasped some more. Chris destroyed me from the inside out and I don’t know how to feel except to say…Holy s**t. Everyone needs to read this book.

What I Liked

The characters were all so messy and complicated and yet you loved each of them deeply.
Every time I thought the book was starting to drag, Chris just comes out of nowhere with a twist.
Though it was dark, it didn’t feel super heavy and hard to read.
I read this book in two days…and it was 600 pages…
