Really enjoyed this one! Little bit of mistery, little bit of murder and a lot of chemistry between the characters.

This book is about 100 pages worth of plot, the other 328 are a man exposition-dumping onto a woman. I’m serious, this has about 100 pages of non-stop monologue.

Four actual events happen over the course of about 100 pages in total.

The writing style is reminiscent of high school essays at times; “she did this. She went to the door. The door was already open. She was surprised.”

It also absolutely loves to repeat previously given information, every single time it is relevant; I have ADHD and even MY attention span feels insulted.

This should have been a 124 page book.
