I had most of it figured out quicker than expected, but it kept my attention throughout and surprised a couple times.

While this book was good enough to read in one day, a few things did admittedly drive me crazy. First, the inner monologue of every character goes on for an eternity, throughout the entire book. A lot of what is said, could’ve very well been shortened. The writing also felt very redundant at times, either using the same phrase over and over to describe one room or character. Sam also came out of nowhere, and I think his perspective could’ve been enjoyed I think throughout the book. The twist however, was very well done and I will say I did not see it coming.

It was very slow going to start with and for me it was almost a DNF, but I made myself carry on with it and the ending was just incredible.

This is definitely a slow burn, like the first major twist comes about 75% of the way through the book. I did struggle with this a few times due to it being kind of slow but honestly once I got to the major twist it was worth it. Like now that I think about what the twist was it does seem a bit predictable but I did like it. The twists and turns continue after that reveal and honestly I felt like some of them were just a little too much but overall I enjoyed the book and look forward to reading more by Alice Feeney
