honestly this book felt like watching multiple cars crash into each other but you are forced to look anyway 

and I know it's not true but books like this kinda feel like they are made for people who have nothing else to worry about 

but I also read this feeling not that great anyway

Pacing was very slow. I was intrigued by the middle but stopped caring by the end. It just dragged on and I'm past the point that character development was no longer happening. I wonder why this story has to be told. The mystery was kind of interesting and dark, but then there were other things that happened. Meh. I do like her writing style and would give another one of her books a try, but this one was so-so.

Not my favorite TF, but I was hooked for most of it. The ending wasn’t quite what I was after, but I liked that I was suspicious of literally everyone.
