adventurous dark emotional inspiring mysterious reflective medium-paced

4.5

I loved this book just as much as the rest of hers! It took me a bit to get into it after reading “One of us is Next” but it’s really well paced and kept my attention the whole time. Not to mention keeping me on the edge of my seat!

I definitely have kind of mixed feelings about this book. It was a mixture of boring but also really interesting. I struggled with getting into it at the beginning and even took a week long break from reading it because I lost motivation. But then, it got really interesting and I was lost in the book. I started binging it because I really wanted to know what happened next and because it kept on leaving me on a cliffhanger at the end of the chapter. However, when the murderer got revealed, the book got boring again and I had to force myself to finish the last few chapters. But overall, it was an okay book. I felt like I was reading a pretty average Netflix murder mystery movie. And I do enjoy those movies. The cringe level was also minimal. Like a 1.5/5 level of cringe. Which is crazy for me because I always cringe at these kinds of books. There was also plenty of plot twists that I did not expect at all. Overall, I did quite enjoy this book despite some small points of mid writing and a bit of some boring plot!

I REALLY got into this one and once I had a chance to have a longer reading stint, I couldn't put it down. I loved the different characters and all of the ways that their lives were interwoven.
