Plot and characters were enjoyable and fresh! There were a number of glaring editing errors which were annoying and distracting - almost like there wasn’t a final close-read before the book went to printing. Her writing deserves this attention to detail!

This book was hit and miss for me. It was, at some points, completely compelling. At other points it really dragged. It took a long time to feel connected to the characters. I did really enjoy the ending and how it was all wrapped up - getting there took some willpower.

What a gripping story. Hard to put down which is saying a lot with a 6 week old.

Difficult to read and not super compelling. The last half of the book was better and the ending certainly had a twist, but it just felt like so many random things were thrown together. Also every single one of the characters sucked. Wouldn’t recommend.
medium-paced

A good read. Not perfect but well plotted. Some atmosoheric descriptions just too long
