I'm still unsure whether I liked this book or not. The storytelling is gripping, making me curious and impatiently awaiting what would come next. Although I haven't read any other works by this already popular author, I'm now eager to explore more of her writing.

Regarding this particular story, the open ending leaves much to be desired. It feels like there was no clear beginning or end, just the middle of an ongoing situation. Despite this, the author definitely manages to keep you hooked until the very last page.
