The concept is wildly entertaining; the execution falls short. Up until the last two or three chapters it was a struggle to care about the plot. Such a great opportunity to build huge suspense and it didn’t deliver on that throughout the book. Legit the last 50 pages were great- should have had that pacing and intensity the whole time. The build was too slow, I didn’t care to read in one sitting. The character development was iffy and felt like character choices were constantly repeated to propel their actions but it didn’t. it all seemed like filler? Especially if the last 50 pages were the true mystery, what was the point of diving into such small details for pages and pages. Not everything seemed intentional I guess. I don’t know, felt like this really great concept fell short.
