1.5

Underwhelming. Mostly cringey and eyeroll-inducing, not a lot of thrill or suspense. 

The pace is pretty slow and nothing substantial happens until the very end. The final twist is disappointing and rushed.

4.0

If I was going on vibes alone this would be five stars. With that being said, this is a SOLID four star book for me. There are valid criticisms (overuse of metaphors, slightly messy ending with lingering questions, one to many references to the FMCs “blue, blue eyes”). 

But my god I couldn’t put this down. I’m a sucker for a unreliable narrator

BUT TWO???

Just when you think you’ve figured out where this is going, you realize how wrong you are. Some may call it predictable, and in a lot of ways it is, but I had THE BEST TIME with this book. I can’t wait to dive into the rest of this author’s work!!
