๐Ÿง  My thoughts 
What a ride! I rarely see a crime, mystery, or psychological thriller this well-written. Everything was fleshed out in detail. It was captivating, intriguing, and gripping. The story kept me guessing until the end. To be honest, it was not super hard for me to guess what was going on but it wasnโ€™t super sure during the reading because of the authorโ€™s splendid writing skill. Iโ€™m eager to check his other book! 

However, this might be my first time reading a book with an unreliable protagonist and everything was too chaotic for me sometimes to follow. The story kept jumping back and forth without any warning. I thought that if I were reading it would be easier than listening to the audiobook. The book was also pretty long, I felt that some details could be more concise. 

๐Ÿ‘ What I like 
  • Captivating and intriguing storyline
  • It feels like every detail was planned carefully
  • Excellent writing skill

๐Ÿ‘Ž What I don't like
  • Too chaotic sometimes. The story kept jumping back and forth without any warning
  • The story sometimes felt a bit lengthy
