There's a lot I liked about this book. The majority felt like being on a roller coaster and trying to figure out what was happening and most of all WHO DID IT? That being said, the ending fell a little flat for me. i wanted to love this book, but in the end, I only like it, which was disappointing.

The audio book narrators are great!

Mild spoilers:

While I see the ending was planned from the beginning, it's the kind of ending which requires too much explanation, leaving me asking "What was the point of everything else?" I was left with questions and wondering if it would have been better for the ending to be different. There are a lot of red herrings, and they amount to...nothing?
