I'm glad that I read this book without knowing anything about it. I guess there were some who got into this having expectations and ended up being disappointed. Me, I had no expectations at all. I don't know the author, I haven't read Villain (so I wasn't expecting a Villain Part 2) and I picked this up in the 'Popular Books' section of the local bookstore and not in 'Crime' section (so I wasn't hoping for crime as the forefront). What really got me was the blurb and honestly, the cover. Seriously, I find the cover really beautiful and it made me want to know these people.
Did I get to know them in the end? Yes... and no. Well, that was the whole point of this book. Also, I always hear the saying that 'you'll never really get to know someone until you live with them under one roof.' This book also disproves that.
There were also a lot of questions in the end that weren't given answers to and I may have felt a little disappointed because of that. However, overall I like this book.
If I have to tell you one thing to help you prepare for this book, it's just this: this is a character driven book and there is no main plot. The plots are just moving fast in the background.
