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!
