I just… couldn’t connect with this one sadly. I listened on audio so maybe that’s why I wasn’t so engaged, but I had no issues with the narrator. I would give another one of Jeneva’s books a go I just don’t think this one was for me.
I felt the multiple POV’s were convoluted and confusing, and I had an inkling about the plot twist about halfway through.
If you enjoy medium paced YA thrillers I think this might be fore you! You’ll never know until you try for yourself, but unfortunately in subjective overview… It was a bit slow although the plot concept does have strength. Character development felt almost nonexistent and wasn’t a fan of the sister’s toxic portrayal of addiction and recovery.
