So don't get me wrong, I raced through this book. I was trying to guess the whole way through (but failed). The twist was surprising however not as big as everyone made it out to be. I was also a little disappointed by the end - I felt like it was missing 2 final pages (an epilogue would have been nice). 

Nonetheless, I would not be opposed to rereading this is a few years time or reccomening this to froends and family. Not a bad way to start 2023.
