I was extremely excited to start reading this before I realised that I had already read it less than 6.5 years ago… and somehow I had zero recollection of the book, the author and the plot??? You would think that I would vaguely remember the plot but I completely didn’t.

Anyway, it was equally unmemorable this time around… the writing is decent and somewhat atmospheric, characters are still a bit 2D and I felt like the plot was a bit of a cop-out (haha pun intended?). Good for a quick brainless read but otherwise not really worth it 🙃
