This was not what I expected, so maybe that’s my fault… but I just found it way too complicated and seemingly unending. The premise of a murder-mystery meets groundhog-day book sounds exciting I guess, but there was just way too much going on and all of the characters fell flat :( I can’t bring myself to rate it too low, however, because I have to admit that the author’s a genius for having the idea in the first place.
