Felt way too drawn out, the plot twist didn’t really happen until like the last three chapters and it just felt rushed to make sense of everything

The twists in the book weren't exactly unpredictable... there were a couple I didnt see coming. The plot was interesting, the way it intertwined, but I felt like the story could have focused more on fleshing out the side characters than what type of wines they drank.
