a really short book (around 100 pages) but really gripping, a great character, really good storyline thoroughly enjoyed it and wish it was longer! Wonder if the author’s written any more books I’ll have to have a look…the characters were really good, I just loved it!! The kind of book I was thinking about all the next day in between reads (I should have just read it in one but I was too tired lol). Really loved to see the character develop and descend into craziness and try and figure out if the ending was real. Really enjoyed it a lot!!

A really interesting premise that was executed poorly. The writing didn’t grab me and the story felt like it was wasn’t progressing for the longest time.

A lot of avenues that I thought would be interesting were just not explored. This would probably have done better as a full, deeper novel than the novella it is.
