I LOVED it! Borrowed it from the Library but went out and bought a copy for my shelf before I’d even finished it

1 abusive character for first 100 pages Murder/Injuries are described but kind of artistically They are hedonistic with alcohol, drugs, and sex.

I honestly don't know how to rate this book. I liked the theatrical structure/nature and all the Shakespearean nods. I had a really hard time liking the characters, and at the same time, I had a hard time disliking them. Half the plot felt extraneous, but I couldn't tell you what to take out. In other words, I'm a bit perplexed after reading this...

Would Recommend?: Yes

Slight Spoilers Ahead? (read with caution)

Was a pleasant read, i would probably reread in the future as-well. I loved the writer's writing, i love how detailed it is. Im giving this book 3.5 stars because i didn't feel much for the characters, most of them were slightly annoying and also stuck-up. I also will say i could not feel the chemistry between Oliver and Meredith. It felt very out of nowhere, i also will say that i wish there were more moments with James & Oliver so the ending would feel more emotional for me, but it seemed like it was so focused on Oliver & Meredith. I would've loved to see more scenes or flashbacks of James & Oliver's relationship. The ending slightly felt rushed but it was still a good fun thriller. It got boring in some parts i will say too. I will say it had some funny moments especially when Richard said "I want to play too." ☠️.
