Multiple Point of Views

Slow Burn Story Telling

This book wasn’t bad but I don’t think I’d read it again.

I thought the author did a good job with setting the scene and having the suspenseful atmosphere I was expecting from a murder mystery.  However, I thought it was a bit drawn out.  All the characters being taken apart, not being as perfect as they once seemed was written well… I just didn’t care for most of the characters.  They weren’t all that likable and the drama was a bit predictable.

The narrators though, did a lovely job.  And with all the different characters they really made each character unique.

valent1ne's review against another edition

Not even a quarter of the way through and literally everyoneeeee is obsessed with this teenage girl in an Extremely Weird way. These women are in their 30s they should not resent this 19y/o girl so much for being skinnier or prettier than them!!!!! The men who are in their 30s or older are ALL saying this girl is hot!!!!! Some of them are explicitly trying to have sex with her this is sooooo disgusting and bad. The mystery was vaguely intriguing but I really do not want to hear the rest of this after all that.
