Ooooh, this one was a doozy!!!
Summary:
-I LOVE a good slow burn and big plot twists. (+4 stars)
-I HATE first-person omniscient writing. (-1 star)
I was hooked right away and read 3/4 of it super quick. Took me a while to actually finish - I got to a point where I wasn't at the edge of my seat anymore (little did I know, that part didn't last long), but once I got back to the book I finished the last quarter in one sitting.
The last few chapters had me SPINNING with plot twists that I seriously did not expect. Especially the last chapter. Really ended with a BANG.
My biggest complaint about this book is the perspective. It's ALL written from the MC's perspective, even the parts that were from the other MC. I was thoroughly confused about it - it was super weird. I really wish it was written with the MC's perspective during her parts, and switched to the other people during their parts. Would have made a lot more sense and made it more impactful (instead of weird) during those parts.
