I think the blurb I read on this couldn’t have prepared me for what was going to happen as it took a completely different direction than I was expecting!
I liked the aspect of an unreliable narrator as it was used in a way I haven’t read before which I enjoyed. I liked the dual storylines, however I didn’t enjoy that it was a long while into the book that it became apparent why the storylines were both being told.
I also found that, while the story was being told in an engaging way, it fell a little flat once all had been revealed at the end and it didn’t quite grip me as much as it could have.
A decent read, just not my favourite
