3.0
Repetitive. My lort, so repetitive.
This could have been so much better. All of the building blocks were there to make this a phenomenal thriller - instead, it was 200 pages of useless dribble leading up to a less than climactic twist and a sub par ending.
Zannah is a champ. We love Zannah.
And Tilly.
I went into this really hoping for some weird, Sci-fi esque story about clones and ended up with a pretty upsetting (and not in a good way) domestic abuse story. Ugh.
