This was an interesting read but one that never really connected for me. I found it really hard to get into at the start - I just found Park & Olivia to be unlikeable. Once more characters were introduced, I found the story to be more intriguing.
There’s a lot going on in the story and many narrators - at times, it does feel like there is too much going on. The narrators didn’t feel like they were unreliable; instead, it felt more like they were untrustworthy. All the characters have secrets and while some were relatively benign, others were ones that had horrible consequences. I did get sucked in because I wanted to know what everyone was hiding, but the ending, while shocking, just flopped.
I read this as an audiobook & I thought the narration was well done.
