This book put me in the worst reading slump it took me like 2 weeks to get through.

On one hand, I recognize that a lot of surprising events happened that I definitely did not predict, but on the other hand I just could not get into the story at all. 

I don’t even dislike the characters, I think Lily especially is really interesting, so I don’t know why I couldn’t at all connect with the story. When something crazy happened in the book I just thought “oh interesting 😐” There were no real moments where I was on the edge my seat because I just didn’t care.

This book was really good in the beginning. At first I couldn’t put it down. But half way through the book, it became difficult to get through. There was only 1 plot twist. The ending was kind of boring. Ended up being a little disappointed.

A wild cat & mouse story. Loved the multiple POVs and nods to Agatha Christie along with other famous mystery writers.

PERFECTION. This is single handedly one of the greatest mystery books I have ever read. Cannot recommend enough.

I almost DNF’d this book. I got bored about halfway through the book. I didn’t really find it compelling or interesting.
