Super underwhelming! Avery was the best character, some of the twists were extremely predictable and the ones that weren't felt unexciting. It is hard to talk about this book without spoiling but there was a whole plot point that felt extremely unneeded and added heaviness to the plotline which made is so slow moving. I didn't feel connected to any of the characters. I will say the tension is built pretty well and I had to keep reading: but less so because it was a good book and more because I needed to know the ending.
