I actually really liked this book tbh. I listened to it as an audiobook and enjoyed it very much. It wasn't too long or rushed. I always had a lot of theories about the ending but the actual one was pretty good too. It had a lot of twists but was slightly pre dictable. Still I had a very goodtime with it. I couldn't tell how old Kit was and was kinda surprised by the 1980s Setting. And the ending was a little weird

the mansion crashing into the sea taking the actual Leonora and Kits father with it.
