3.0

Like many people, I read this book because of TikTok. I wouldn’t exactly call it a thriller but more of a crime novel. The “twists” were a little predictable or if not predictable, a little far fetched or unbelievable, so it was almost amusing rather than gripping or thrilling. I didn’t particularly like any of the characters and the romance storyline was just a little flat… maybe because the main character is a young woman and the author is an older man. It was kind of obvious that that was the case in some ways. The ending was a little weird but I suppose it tied up loose ends… I still feel like I had questions though! I’m not sure I would really recommend this book to anyone.
