4.0

A compelling set of overlapping stories with some decent twists in both. I'd rate it a 5/5 but I've got some small gripes with a few of the plot points. I definitely recommend this for a weekend camping trip (or beach trip, or long flight).

The pacing was so off on this one for me. I was bored the entire book and then drawn in the last 50 or so pages.

The narrator felt unreliable in an interesting way — I finished the book feeling them at the conclusions given about certain characters actions weren’t true.
