I am struggling to verbalize my feelings about this book. On the one hand, it was a page turner, and not super predictable. On the other hand, the ending felt very “meh” and one-note to me. No big takeaways or deeper meanings. Just… the meh plot, with some meh characters, and then it ended. I liked it more in the beginning, and then it began to fall flat about halfway through. Solid TBR-filler book.
