I was enthralled and eager to find out the secrets, but it was just sad and horrible the whole time, with no relief.

Well written, but boring. I know sometimes thrillers need time to plant their roots for a wild and twisty finale but I never felt captured by the stories.

Pros
+ Interesting premise
+ Good execution of multiple POVs and time jumps

Cons
- The author tries too hard to set everything up for a perfect reveal but it makes the first half of the book quite boring
- After the big reveal, all of the plot twists are fairly predictable
