wow... that was bad. i only really liked the detective's pov which was at some points hilarious & idk just more interesting ??
we follow Ciara's and Oliver's povs as well from before the murder & they're literally at some points the same. like what they each say in their povs. EXACT SAME ACTIONS like ???? u are two different people, u can't think the same way wtf ??? & then some dialogues were extremely repetitive, word in word, that i had to skip it cuz man i've already read it & i don't wanna read about shit i ALREADY KNOW. i am quite pissed off w this book in that sense. i really wanted to enjoy it, but it's like the author just wanted to get more words out or something so she basically used exact same sentences just to make the story longer.
and also the romance itself ??? TOO QUICK to the point where it's really not realistic at all. they moved in together literally just three weeks after they met basically. i am a slow burn romance lover, so this was just a flat no to me.
i feel frustration after reading this book idk. would not recommend reading this tbh, the only thing that saved it was Lee's pov. the murder itself as well, the ending - so underwhelming. i read it all w a flat af face, not feeling nothing at all lmao.
so yeah, pass.
