3.0
my main issue is that the clues felt all over the place, and that the main character was kinda annoying. she should’ve listened to when she was encouraged to get help, but oh well, her PTSD gave me a good story to read.
overall, i was interested the whole time i read this book. it was creepy, and mysterious, and just proves that history repeats itself and that solving a crime is tricky.

3.75
I almost gave this book 4 stars due to me being genuinely shocked by the ending but I have settled on 3.75 because I found the main character often annoying me. I thought a lot of her decisions were very dumb and dangerous plus like I get that she has trauma from her childhood but that doesn't excuse her actions or dangerous and illegal practices when it comes to taking pills.
