It reminded me of Dark Places by Gillian Flynn due to the unreliable and “unlikeable” narrator, but I actually didn’t really like the MC. His whole angry, manipulative streak was not endearing and he seemed full of himself. I wasn’t rooting for anyone in the book. Most characters served no purpose and I didn’t know who they were most of the time or their purpose in the story. The resolution of the main conflict of the entire story doesn’t even get covered in the epilogue and even then, it’s like an afterthought. I wasn’t thrilled or excited by this book, just wanted it to end so I could find out what happened to Nina, but jury’s still out on whether that was worth it or not.
