Thanks to me for forgetting my book at home (and finishing my backup book) which resulted in me picking up this monstrosity🫢
All the characters in this book were very unlikeable people. The protagonist was so extremely detached to her “invisible friend” that it made her a very unreliable POV (which may have been the point? Idk the invisible friend thing was just weird). Half the mystery didn’t even start until 150 pages in which is way too late. Also, all of the chapters set in the past were written in second person which I LOATHED!!! At times I did find myself intrigued to see what was going to happen next but that’s all this has going for it.
