A quick and fun read! The format isn’t for everyone (epistolary novel with a large cast and multiple POV) but I liked piecing together the overarching story from messages that would have seemed mundane in isolation. I can’t speak to whether the twists and big reveal were set up well but they didn’t seem to come out of nowhere and weren’t too far-fetched. I’ll probably read the next book in this series.
