This book took me soooo long to finish. Way more than it should have for a 350 page book.
At first, I was really invested in the story and I was just flying through the pages. That changed when I got to around the middle of the book. One of the POVs seemed a bit strange and pointless. I do understand why we needed it for the storyline, but I feel like it was too complicated with too many characters at the end. I guessed the majority of the plot, which made me enjoy it a bit less.
Harlan Coben's writing style really amused me because it was very descriptive and sort of poetic in some parts. I feel like I will definitely pick up some of his other books as well.
Overall, Tell No One was an interesting and fun read, but I've definitely read other thrillers that I enjoyed more.
