glad i’m a fast reader so i didn’t waste too much time on this one. only some of the characters have any redeeming factors and even then it’s just barely - they don’t get a resolution anyway so it doesn’t even matter. the “twist” was boring and predictable, the climax was over way too quickly, the main character was annoying, the ending was bad, and i wasn’t a fan of the writing style. it was super repetitive and characters often contradicted themselves. some characters just… existed?? and didn’t serve a purpose but to be, idk red herrings maybe?? the more i think about this one the more reasons i find to dislike it.
