Caroline Kepnes' writing style is thoroughly entertaining and captivating. The voices she gave to the three protagonists each unique.
It did feel like it dragged and kept leading to nothing, at points, but I think that was the point - to keep you on your toes, to see and wonder what's going to happen next, especially with Jon and Eggs chapters. And Chloe! I appreciate her flaws, thought I kept feeling so... not bad for her, per se? I mean, a little bad for her. I wanted her to find happiness and got mad on her behalf for everything that happened since Jon disappeared & came back. Ugh.
