Full disclosure- I’m not a murder mystery reader or fan in general but this was my attempt at trying it out.
I don’t really know what to think. It was a difficult book to get through; there was a lot of repetition of the same points and the constant pov switching was confusing at times. It just dragged on and on and it was very hard for me to just not skip to the end. In its efforts to make a feminist point (which you are repeatedly beaten over the head with), this book leaves the reader dissatisfied because the truth of what happened is left unclear. It’s also unclear whether this is intentional. Certain things don’t add up no matter what side you take, and it’s a very unbelievable book in general. Parents were nonexistent in the story. I liked the concept but too much was kept vague and disorganized for me to enjoy the read.
