I really enjoyed this authors style of writing, and I'm always a sucker for an unreliable narrator story. But the ending fell flat for me - it felt boring compared to the build up, and the MC wasn't likeable enough for me to feel bad for her.
The final reveal felt out of place when considering the foreshadowing in the book. It was almost mystical in a way the rest of the book wasn't, which was confusing and drew me out of the rest of the story.
Overall I really enjoyed this authors use of language and dialogue, they have a wonderful way with words. This book just isn't for me, unfortunately
