what a big slog of a read this was
definitely the best written book ive read by her, however the pacing of the plot just did not hit the spot and it got to the point where i just wasnt rooting for anyone and didnt care at all, everyones very unlikable and i feel like the whole conspiracy plot could have been a lot more interesting

this got better as it went on and so maybe a 3.25
i’m glad in the end you actually find out what happened but i feel as though there were a lot of things just left open and maybe that was the point but idk
i’m glad it got a happy ending but it doesn’t mention certain characters that id have liked to know abou
