a good book although i enjoyed it much less than the previous two. the ending felt a little rushed and the characters didn’t really show much development, still making the same mistakes and inextricably forgiving one another. however the writing was still engaging and the reveal did surprise me. i do agree with some reviewers that this maybe should have been a duopoly or even a single book because the plot and reveal felt a little drawn out. perhaps i’m just someone who enjoys the mystery and suspense more than the reveal.
