click bait title, no puzzles, no nothing. i felt a little cheated

It’s a very fast read for sure, you will be slightly intrigued. The prose is very matter fact. I preferred the dialogue between characters because the narrator felt a little repetitive and monotonous. I did not like it but I enjoyed reading it (tis confusion)

Seeing how far Megan Goldin has come from this book to the night swim is wild. This book was okay. I knew what was happening immediately but the story was still intriguing. It gave me the chills and feel really disgusted by money can make people do. Megan Goldin’s description and creation of characters is top tier.

The protagonist grieves her death. The protagonist's father has a chronic heart condition which he dies from later in the novel (off-page).

It was good in the sense that I did not see the ending coming by any means. I listened to this on audiobook and think that helped me get through the slower beginning!
