It started off strong but the plot didn’t really progress anywhere. This can be indicative of real life, but I wanted more.

I really loved the writing style of this book. The short chapters make it go by very quickly too! It was a fun read and even though I don't typically go for thrillers I enjoyed it.

3.5

Oikeastaan kirja oli viihdyttävä lukea, mutta niin nopea ja lyhyt, etten ehtinyt oikein muodostaa tunnesidettä hahmoihin, joten lukemisen jälkeen tuntuu lähinnä vähän tyhjältä.

Vetävä kirja kyllä on ja sisarusten väliset tunteet ja salaisuudet hienosti kuvattuja.
