I really was not into the first half of this book, I was struggling, I was like 80 pages in and going “why the hell does everyone like this book?”, barely reading maybe 20 pages a day and I even put it down for like a week

And then at about 60% I was on the train, my jaw dropped, and I ripped my way through the rest of it

If you aren’t in for a long slow drawn out fist fight of a book, this won’t be for you

If you want to understand why the hell everyone is so into this book, hold on for the ride.

And tbf, I called maybe a quarter of what was going on but in no universe would I ever have wrapped my brain around all of it. I still don’t know that I’ve wrapped my brain around all of it. This is one where I need tabs and better handwriting to annotate.

All in all, rad, had a great time, but it’s a very low and slow simmer.

Went in knowing nothing and wish I knew a bit more. The twists made sense and I'm glad it's grounded in that way, but I did wonder if I wanted to finish it. Do think it wrapped up neatly, but yeah can be a tough read. I'm glad the gut feeling was right, not super sure how I feel about this book yet!

wild stuff, but this was a pretty solid thriller. as i was reading i was worried that there were gonna be a lot of plot holes but they actually wrapped up really well. i think there was a character that i was a bit like…do we need him? but overall good.

This book is weird and wild and heartbreaking and I couldn’t stop reading

Truly chilling and unpredictable. Every time I thought I knew what was going on, I was wrong. The plot was addictive until the last 20%, and then it went on for a bit too long.
