The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton

5.0

Loveable characters: Complicated

Diverse cast of characters: N/A

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This book was so fun! So well written in my opinion. It's hard to successfully pull off writing from the perspectives of this many characters and Turton did it well. I loved the connecting loops throughout the book

(those moments where you see something from one character's perspective and then experience it and the why from a different perspective *chef's kiss*)

. I do feel as though the ending got a little Game of Thrones season 8 where we were just rushing to get to all the answers.

I felt like it could have ended when Daniel was drowned in the lake but then the author was like "oh shit I forgot to answer like three questions. I'll just put them in the last 20 pages."

But even with that, I was satisfied with the book and it quickly became one of my favorite reads as of late.
