this is really badly written—not just the plot construction (which wasn't good, either) but the writing itself. I call it "fanfic voice" and I legitimately have not read something written this way since middle school. first person present tense. short, abrupt sentence fragments. italicizing the narrator's thoughts. multiple narrators with identical voices. I'm sorry, it was truly so bad. also, there were multiple typos and grammar/punctuation issues in my library ebook copy, which... come on. that's embarrassing.
the other big issue: using blindness as a plot device, ESPECIALLY

So many thrillers rely on characters keeping secrets and this book is no different, but secrets are revealed at a good rate, which I appreciate. Yes, there are big reveals at the end but there are smaller secrets shared among the characters throughout the book, which helps to build the tension and create a fuller story.
It's also no mistake that the cover of the book shows a Rorschach inkblot. Like the different characters, different readers will have varying opinions on the story and the setting. I can't stop thinking about it.
