Decided to DNF at about 10%. It is nothing against the book itself, I really do think that I might come back to it eventually. The reason I DNFed was because I was listening to it as an audiobook and I just wasn’t really vibing with the narrator and then I was going to borrow a physical copy from my local library but they didn’t have any available. And now the library does have them I just can’t bring myself to go get it. There are so many other books that I’d rather be reading right now either because they’ve been sitting on my shelf for ages or they’re current new releases. I’m sad to be dnfing this but ultimately it’s just not the right time for me and this book.

Super quick read. Was twisty but not too twisty. I liked that you slowly found out all this stuff about each person but they also all learned it about each other. I hate that trope of the characters not telling each other important information. I wasn’t expecting it to be that the Steven was abusive. It was pretty good.
