MOTIVE: stupid
PLOTLINE: confusing
ENDING: what the fuck did i just read

300 PAGES AND ONLY ONE MURDER?that’s super pointless. it took so many turns, and it wasn’t in a good way. like oh it was the boyfriend. WHOMP WHOMP. the second to last chapter was when we found out who the killer was and the very last chapter made absolutely no sense because of that. it felt rushed. felt like there were some plot holes, the one that infuriated me most was the one where the author used “bOyS wIlL bE bOyS” like ma’am, murderers will be murderers. thank you for coming to my ted talk.
