Because the book is so short, it was definitely a page turner because I knew I could finish it quickly and the concept is really engaging. However, there really wasn't a twist. The end was predictable and didn't provide much surprise or relief. I did enjoy it though, not bad, not great.

This book had immense potential. And then it absolutely shit the bed. I hated the ending found it quite ridiculous actually. Loved it so much up until the last few chapters. Beyond disappointed.
