Honestly, the writing is really simple and pretty disappointing. The overuse of dialogue and underuse of reflection or action just made it seem so clunky and hard to get invested in the characters. Which is a little disappointing given the author’s sudden rise to fame—maybe I will check out a couple more books in case this just an early one. 

Plot twists were good. I kinda guessed the first couple but the ending was somewhat of a surprise. 

Not bad. But not good. Good if you want a quick read that you’ll move on from straight away.
