So, this was messy but in a good way. I knew there was a twist coming but I didn't expect this one, which is very welcomed to say the least. When it comes, you need a few moments to run through everything in your mind and put the pieces of the puzzle together. Overall, I really liked it and it's quite original, so good job Beth O'Leary. She hasn't disappointed me yet.
However, it did feel a bit long to me since we start getting answers like in the last third of the book. Also, I didn't feel Joseph's and Jane's chemestry that much? I feel like I should re-read it now that I know the whole story.
