3.5

moved so slow for the first 200 pages n then moved SO FAST like suddenly all the clues were there n there was barely any explanation n they tried so hard to include too much it became crowded n unnecessary i feel like if it was a simpler plot it wouldve worked alot better, bc alot of the elements just didnt fit into the plot. the ending was pretty anticlimactic i kinda wish there was more :(

the switches between the present time and the letters the dad wrote made me cry so much i love the dad forever

i fucking hate u paul fuck u.

also i hate claire shes so annoying and naive and oblivious n ignorant but whatever she was a #baddie at the end
