I’m reluctant to give this a four because I’m still kinda angry about the way the story unfolded. I want all the secrets revealed so that everyone can move on with a clear conscience, but there were still so many secrets held at the end of the book, and it felt like the story was never going to end with every new secret being revealed. It was a good book, and I would’ve given it a four if there had been even one less secret.
