This book is veryyy slow-paced, so just be warned. The writing style is more literary fiction than thriller, but that’s not a bad thing. There definitely is a mystery though. I love the multiple POVs and the non-linear timeline. It creates a disjointed, mysterious feel. You never really have a chance to 100% connect with any of the characters, which builds distrust. Overall, it’s so very well written, but the unnecessary slow pace brings down the rating for me.
