This book was challenging to get into because of the different perspectives and characters that didn’t have names. The book was like a puzzle you had to piece together.

I think the author did an amazing job really making each character’s perspective stand out and feel different from the other character’s. 

However, once I was a third of the way through the book, I found it to be very predictable. I guessed one major spoiler right away and the people involved in it. I also guessed how all of the characters would come together. That knocked this book down a few stars.

Overall, the book was interesting but definitely not something I’d read again.
