I was excited to solve the mystery of the book when I first started it but by the end it just felt so dragged out. I mean you guess most of the stuff not even half way through the book and the surprises aren’t so shocking. Not a bad book overall but I wouldn’t reach for it again.

I really struggled to get into it at first because it was boring and the main character was really annoying. I decided halfway through that I was going to give it 2/5 because I was certain that it was not going to get any better. However, the ending completely made up for the slow start. This is a dark and twisted thriller. Would recommend. 3.5/5

2.5 stars. Not that gripping and a lot of plot holes but a decent ending. This is why I have a hard time dNFing thrillers.

3.0

Slow build with only the final 2 chapters clarifying all the plot gaps. Author really just dumped all the context that the ending should have had into a “letter” and a independent thought stream. Felt lazy at the end
