The main character was an idiot — I’m sorry she was. And this book was too much - too many words, too many characters, too many weird plot lines, and too much nonsense. The pacing was off and for how long this book was way too many things were crammed into days that would have been weeks or months. The reader should be able to suspend disbelief, but I couldn’t believe Kit or this story at all. I finished because I was curious in the end, but it the most circumstantial evidence/story ever. 

Also, a suicide note written on a typewriter taken for factual evidence? Not to mention it survived 2 weeks in the ocean on a decomposing body. Ok. 

And in what world is Ricky short for Patrick? Don’t worry, I’ll wait 😂 I doubt I’ll read another book by this author cuz I’m annoyed.
