At times it was really slow and just had no exciting bits, it wasn’t predictable to me but i dont really try and predict it because it ruins the experience for me, this took me approximately 3 days to read. But if you want a murder mystery that’s fairly similar to Holly Jackson’s books, I recommend this one.

I loved the fast pacing and short chapters, this book was super well written and engaging. I think the characters fell a bit flat for me and it seemed like there was a romantic subplot attempted that just never got fully developed. However, the mystery was gripping and I couldn’t guess anything until the final reveal, which I love! It’s always fun to find a book with a genuinely surprising plot twist. The villain was brilliantly portrayed and this was generally just a really enjoyable book. My only big critique was just the lack of dimension from the main character, but that didn’t keep me from thoroughly enjoying this book!

Overall, this book was ok! It wasn’t anything I would particularly remember or recommend, but I did enjoy it while reading. The chapters are super short which made it so easy to get through! The plot was good, but the end was super predictable. If you want an easy thriller, this is for you!

This book for me fell flat in more ways than one. The short chapters are unnecessary and repeat information too often. There is no depth in the characters. There is nothing that makes you want to keep reading it forever & ever. I found it forgettable.
