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

2.0

It was fine. I felt intrigued and tense at some points in the book but honestly, what was the point of henry, of fred or the general desaster of the group therapy thing? literally nothing points to the killer or the connection at all and it feels wrong. i feel like it’s a good idea but very badly executed. it lacks depth, though it tries to get into some topics and it feels quite try-hardy.
