This genuinely may be the worst book I’ve ever read. The writing, ending, character development, and story are just bad. It was the kind of bad that may be cringe and sigh with disappointment more than once. I unfortunately cannot recommend this book to anyone I want a cordial relationship with.

I really liked this one! It was fast and entertaining. I kept updating my husband on my new theories as to whodunnit, so I was quite invested. However, after the ending was finally revealed, I found that several thoughts and actions characters took earlier in the story didn't align, and it seemed like the inner monologue was meant to keep the reader guessing instead of being the character's actual suspicions. Still a fun read, though! 7.5/10

Well I didn’t expect that ending! Everything unfolds nicely right at the end and I didn’t predict any of it. To be honest, I didn’t like either of the main characters but the storyline flowed nicely and everything eventually pieces together. Note: I listened to the audiobook & the voice actors did well.
