I originally grabbed this on the library on a whim- it was sitting on a “recommended by a librarian” shelf and librarians know their books. It then sat on my nightstand sort weeks, getting passed over by other “more serious” books. I needed a quick palette cleanser sort of book so ended up grabbing it to read before I went to bed last night. I read the first four pages before falling asleep but woke up immediately wanting to read more. It was catchy, intriguing, written well and it did all my fave things - short chapters, different narrators, mysterious, and exciting to read. I couldn’t put it down all day and was reading it while cooking dinner and while watching my kids run around outside. It’s not the most serious plot but it’s fun and takes your mind off anything else going on - which is one of the best parts about reading.
I’d give it a 5 in terms of “good quick reads”.
