Unsure how reliable my review of this will be, since I accidentally read the sequel first- therefore I unintentionally know the main gist and ending of the entire book. That aside- an interesting read, very solid adult novel with very lovable and hate able characters alike.

Décevant. Le tout était assez prévisible. L’histoire était trop tirée par les cheveux pour être réalistes et vraiment m’emporter. Le livre était trop long.

I found the plot of this book a little slow to start with, but it soon speeds up and I found all the twists and turns very engaging. I wasn't the biggest fan of the writing style and although I got used to it, it's stopped me rating it higher than 4*.

read this in one sitting this was INSANE i literally had my mouth open the entire time....as much as it pains me to say i think i AM a henry apologist but i think that just proves how insane and well-written this book is, that by the end of it you are completely empathetic and everything feels justified. i pride myself in being able to predict endings and twists but i did not see a single thing coming in this entire book, but it all still felt completely coherent and plausible. this was so good. this was insane. i need to lie down.
