3.5

I enjoyed this book pretty immensely! up until the ending. the build up of the mysteries of the island was amazing, I lovedddd the addition of the blog and forum posts (multimedia books my beloved) and overall it was built up pretty well. however, I felt the actually climax of the book was rushed and not thought through? I guess the point was we don't understand patricia, and I'm fine with that but. I dunno the deaths felt rushed and like we were supposed to maybe be okay with them, but I don't feel like at the very least Amanda did anything wrong lmao? or mike even? casey i felt less bad about tho. again, i get the girls not knowing anything about patricia, but it just makes it odd to watch these woman be chill murder a man for... what? i love rooting for woman murdering but i gotta have something to grip on to. i loved the bizarreness of this book up until this point. also Renee's character was. hm. she started off strong but it felt like she kinda just made a 180 of accepting what was happening when she wasn't even aware there was a mystical being or even what was happening? like. idk. I have many mixed thoughts about this book. I also feel like the letters, while very sweet, didn't add anything? I just overall felt like this book should've been longer and more fleshed out.

am giving it 3.5 because I thoroughly enjoyed it up until the end.
