challenging dark emotional mysterious tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

This was a dark, tense read. The kind of book that would make you doubt the sincerity of those around you. Family and strangers alike.

I found myself torn between feeling sorry for the characters and wanting to close the book for a time to contemplate the complexity of human beings. 

The story itself had me trying to figure out what the next move would be, so I was glad to see a book not being too predictable. 

I look forward to reading more from this author.
