1.0

I did not like this book. The writing was mediocre (i.e. very telling, not showing in the slightest). The characters were terrible (which, I suppose, is on purpose). The plot was all over the place, confusing, predictable but not predictable, and the conclusion was not what I was expecting but also completely out of left field. The only good thing I can say is the read itself was quick and fast, and there wasn't much filler content.

The premise was captivating but halfway through I’d figured out ‘whodunit’ and it just wasn’t believable…the final reveal still left me with questions. 
Were there glaring plot holes? Yes. 
Did I finish this book in one sitting? Also yes.
Am I a sucker for psychological/mystery thrillers? 100%.
