I don’t like mystery books. I find the solution obvious and get impatient waiting for the author to get to the point. But this book actually had plot twists I didn’t expect. I’ll definitely recommend it to my friends.

The characters can’t be described as lovable but are certainly engaging. Some of the plot twits are predictable, but are still enjoyable and others are very unexpected.

I enjoyed following the trio of timelines and the short chapters. The plot is unlike anything I’ve read before and well worth the read.

I think I read this book too far apart to really give a intelligent review. I will say that all of the characters sucked, but especially the main character and her sister. Definitely check out content warnings because this book had a lot of them...
