Okay I heard that the twist for this book was going to be crazy! So I made it my mission to put it on my tbr and go in blind when I finally read it. And now that I'm finished I'm so confused. What about this story was so overly shocking. Minus the ending and a few details nothing in this book was shocking to me. Was it entertaining, yes, but it was also kinda slow. I found myself just patiently waiting for this crazy twist that never happened. I still liked the twist though, but it wasn't really giving for me. Alot of things were happening and the ending felt a little anticlimactic.
