I’ll be honest, I almost DNF’d this one 🫣 I went from “good start, let’s see what happens”- to not feeling 𝗔𝗡𝗬 character at all- to then wanting to know what happens 𝘴𝘢𝘯𝘴 excitement. It wasn’t the worst by any means but I wasn’t at the edge of my seat either 🤷🏻‍♀️ Eventually I gained more interest in knowing more about each characters life and solving mystery. I will say, I ‘solved the case’ so I wasn’t exactly surprised but I ended up liking how it all came together. 

Ｌｉｋｅｓ: easy to follow multi POV, morally gray characters, plot twists

Ｄｉｓｌｉｋｅｓ: unlikeable characters, slow paced first half
