2.0

Had this been written better-maybe it was the translation-Confessions would have been a Four or Five-Star read. I loved the characters, but the multiple points of view ruined the whole book. The plot ended up being over-explained and ultimately killed the whole experience for me. I swear the same twists are explained at least three times over. I will say that the end helped the story a lot, but by then, I just wanted to be done with the book. Make Confessions a shorter story and you've got a five-star read.
