3.5

3.5 stars. Great plot and suspenseful but no real plot twist and was kind of predictable. 3.5 stars they could have went over the edge with this one but fell short. This first part had me indulged with it's fast pace and suspense, but the second part kind of sizzled everything.

Was definitely an interesting story, and feels like it should have its own short series on Netflix. Only lost me as the some pieces felt a bit too unreal, and some of the writing felt a bit cheesy but very good overall.

The concept is so so cool, but omg did it drag on. I could not finish it. So much repetition and saying the obvious out loud. It was just too slow paced for me.

Great concept. The way it was written made it easy to follow. The plot wasn’t very exciting, as I already had a hunch pretty early on. But nevertheless a great read.

the plot was interesting and some of the characters were fine (minus the cartoon-esque villains) but nothing Hooked me, really. I did like how they kept bringing up stranger things though. I bet kylie loves nancy wheeler

A great book for the first part, even if its quite fast paced.
But some things feel unjust, even in the whole context of the book, and the second half was just a slog for me.
