  • Loveable characters? No

4.0

I could’ve given this book a higher rating but I docked some points for the fact it was more difficult to read than it should’ve been.

Now I don’t mind dual/multi POVs or timeline jumps. But the combination of these two when I had no idea who the POV was in the timeline jumps was stressful and made it VERY hard to follow the plot or even want to keep reading. I would have absolutely stopped reading it if I was the type to, fortunately (or unfortunately for myself) I am not. 

Otherwise, the book was good. I hated that ^ aspect of it but also enjoyed the twists - which I certainly couldn’t see coming considering the way it was written lol. So my feelings are conflicted. 

3.75 rounded up I am sticking with for now.
