The whole book I was questioning who actually did it and I was shocked with what happened. The ending left me confused and wanting more.
I had moments where I had to go back and reread with more information that I was given so it made me take longer to read.
Overall, amazing read. Would recommend.

I dislike reveals that are basically
most English language books I read are American, so a British one is a nice change of pace. I liked seeing all the Britishisms!

The main character/s are very unlikeable and I hope that this author had a consultant for mental illness, or else she is just using mental illness tropes/notions to write the story she wants. I would have given it a 1 if there wasn't two final "gotcha" moments, one of which doesn't even make sense based on the characterization of the main character/s. I feel I can see the author smirk and say, "Aren't I so clever?" No. You are not.
Her writing is fine, 0.5 stars.

Unnecessary sexual assault that is just there for the shock and horror. Nothing comes from it. No emotional fall-out, no relationship fall-out, nothing. It's just there to be vulgar. The book would have had the same message and impact without it since the main tension is not with the character who sexually assaults.
