I didn’t love it. I feel like the most interesting parts for me were Alicia’s diary entries and that I was reading on in spite of Theo’s narrative. It was cleverly constructed but I found the ending rushed and unsatisfying. 

I appreciate the whole point is that Theo is a shallow narcissist who manipulates the story, but I found this left me wanting more depth from the narrative and feeling underwhelmed by the writing style

I just didn't get it, it wasn't written in a way that was captivating to me personally and some of the plot felt so pointless. Good twist, executed not in a great way for me.

i felt a lot of the plot to be dragging but rushed? the book overall was very boring and the plot twist was super predictable. decently fast paced overall but evened out by the more monotonous bits where theo is tracking down people from alicia’s past.
