• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

I worked out what was going on quite early on but it didn't detract from my enjoyment of the story. That being said I don't think any of the characters were likeable, well perhaps Toby 😹and although I liked the last big twist it felt rather rushed and a bit farfetched and all over the place. I would still say it was worth a read as I know some people will really enjoy this.

*Thanks to NetGalley, Embla Books and Becca Day for the copy of this book. All views are my own.*
