3.0

A promising book that kinda fell short towards the end. I was pretty interested and engrossed in the story given that it was told in different timelines and from different POVs. From the beginning, I wanted to know more about what really happened and how it all connected in the end. But somehow, even the main character broke… “character”? And I hate when that happens just for the sake of furthering the plot or serving a plot twist.

One of the things I liked about this book, though, is the audiobook narration!
