Look, I’ve only experienced anything resembling insomnia once in my life and it was an incredibly disorienting and scary experience, and this book took me right back to that feeling and frankly I did not like it

B̷R̷I̷N̷G̷ ✨ 𝗕𝗢𝗥𝗥𝗢𝗪 ✨ B̷Y̷P̷A̷S̷S̷

I liked this book, and I think it’s one that I’ll be able to hold on to a lot of the details for a long time(some 3 star books I just, like, forget?)

The premise was super intriguing, I absolutely didn’t want to put it down (finished in one day!), and thought that the resolution of everything made sense.

…That being said, there were threads that were kind of left hanging and while it feels like that was done intentionally (&sometimes this works in mysteries & thrillers!), in my opinion this left me feeling more deflated than it did intrigued or shocked.

If you need a quick read to bust a slump or get on track with a reading goal, I think this would be a solid choice!
