• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

For the first 75-80% of this book, I was hooked. Though I had suspicious about one of the twists, I thought it was well done and I was fully engaged. However, the last part of the book dragged and felt too over the place.

If Kibica had chosen either one of Sadie's alters or Will being the killer/mastermind, I think it would have sat better with me.

I felt the last half of the book had way too much exposition, which perhaps could have been present throughout but I forgave it before the plot frustrations hit.

It felt messy that the first half of the book really emphasized Imogen's issues and she wasn't mentioned at all until the very end. It also felt messy that Oliver's darkness was hinted it, then very heavily emphasized for a chapter, then completely gone again.
