*** Thank you netgalley for kindly providing an arc of this book to me.
When I first read this synopsis, I was really intrigued by the concept of this book, so I immediately started reading it. I liked reading about our characters as well the the three perspectives we got. However, I found the writing too fast paced to go along properly with the story, and because of that the plot felt very rushed. I didn't really understand why our main character didn't question more things at the beginning, and just seemed to go along with the flow. I also didn't really vibe with the writing in general. It was pretty straightforward at first, which I liked, but then the author seemed to want to be the next erin morgenstern and came up with these incredible flowery descriptions that had nothing to do with the original scheme of the writing and felt kind of out of nowhere.
However, that said, I did enjoy the story overall and thought it was pretty okay.
