An interesting story with mildly interesting characters, could have been a lot more given the setting, premise and intriguing writing throughout the beginning and middle of the book. The ending was swift and uneventful

Overall fantastic book, from the plot and character development to the perfect amount of detail to keep the story line moving. Lots of twists and turns and surprises due to the lies woven throughout. Hard to read emotionally knowing that, although fiction, these characters weren’t far off from reality.

This isn’t the kind of book I’d usually read, but it was this month’s book club pick. Honestly, it was a good, but it just wasn’t for me.
