Can’t figure out whether I like this book. The plot had potential and many times I did find myself mildly surprised at the revelations, but it wan’t enough to get me to turn the pages any faster.
The story was quite easy to follow but the author kind of rambled a lot at some points, and there were way too many characters/POVs for me to keep track of that I found myself merely skimming through most of the time.
Sidney’s death was rather surprising, as would the death of any main character so I liked that little plot twist. What I want to know is what happened to Marshall and Grace, and why Ellie of all people took the blame for Sidney’s death. Overall, could be better if all these questions were answered by the end of the book.

the premise of this book was interesting and it was pretty good for the majority of the book, but the ending falls completely flat and makes the entire book completely unenjoyable overall. there are far too many loose ends and tidbits of information that ended up not meaning anything in the long-run, and the end is a cheap way at a 'gotcha!' ending as the ONLY reason it catches readers off guard is because there is no way for us to have predicted it. its not satisfying. this isnt a book that i think back on and see where i could have connected dots and didnt for one reason or another; dots arent able to be connected in a way where the reader feels like theyre figuring things out because everything is so convoluted. ugh.
