3.0

honestly kind of a letdown. I love GGG and 5 Survive because of their pacing and twisty stories, but this book had me re-reading passages and going back pages to try and find context I missed because it felt like the story was jumping around SO much during the middle portion. Yes, I still loved the twists, and yes the ending had my jaw on the floor... But again, I had to re-read everything to understand the twists,
because of how wedged they were between Bel's, honestly, unfounded distrust in Rachel when she first reappeared.
And the ending felt unfinished. Half thought over, yet fully understandable. 
I'm super conflicted, my heart likes this book, but my head just can't stop being nitpicky.
