Where do I start… I got this book at barnes and noble hoping for s good new mystery. The plot was interesting, but kind of cliche. The main issue with this book is the pacing.. it’s extremely slow for the majority of the book and EXTREMELY fast in the last 2-3 chapters.  The ending is quite honestly, awful and not hopeful in the least. I don’t mind s sad ending, but this ends with the main character’s whole goal flushed down the toilet. When reading the last few chapters I literally checked online to see if there was a printing mistake in my copy, if the real ending was cut out by accident. After realizing there was no mistake, I looked for a sequel online. There is none, and it just left me feeling like the author git bored of the book while writing it and just wanted to get it over with but not quit on it as she spent time writing the thing. The character is not relatable and is somewhat flat. I give this a 2 stars because it’s not bad writing, it’s just bad character development and honestly awful pacing. I wouldn’t recommend.
