I enjoyed book 1 in this series! Enough for me to immediately start book 2. But our FMC became chaotic in book 2 and not in a way that made sense to me. There were so many plot twists that we ended up with a telenovela and many choices being made that were so out of pocket you couldn’t follow along with anyone’s reasoning.
<SPOILER>
There is a pseudo love triangle situation and the MMC didn’t play it out at all like I would’ve thought he would from his behavior in book 1.

This book should be titled What Did I Read...
Book one I listened to on Audible and felt like this is a book that knows it's not great but is like a train wreck you can't look away from. Also, the narrator did a great job early on making the MC seem a little unhinged like someone who's trying to convince themself their mask is real, so the "twist" ending was satisfying in that I was right and she was not "JUST A SCIENTIST GOSH DARNIT!!"
This one was like that awkward interaction with someone you went to school with who you accepted a friend request from on social media to be nice, but immediately regret once you see they post every thing about their life to the point it's obnoxious and so you unfollowed them, but then you see them at TJ Maxx, and they start talking to you about all the things they've up to and all the plans they've made because you’re "friends" and you should already know, all the while inside you're thinking wtf are you talking about, yet just standing there with a confused smile plastered to your face nodding over and over until it's f i n a l l y freaking over. Like that sentence. I did finish it solely to meet my reading goals and not have time *totally* wasted.
PSA: let me be your example, don't waste your time.

I do really like the cover though
