Very slow in the beginning.
There are too many characters and the POV changed so often that it interferes with the flow of the book and it has hard to feel any depth of the characters.

🛑 ‼️🚨I do want to say that this book should have had trigger warnings for sexual abuse of children, self harm, thoughts and actions of suicide, and a pretty graphic scene of death. 🛑 ‼️🚨

Okay, so I read this book in one day mostly because I’m doing a book challenge. While I did like this book, it was a bit hard to get through….
The plot was quite slow and it switched characters so many times sometimes it was a bit overwhelming. However it is still a good read, the author writes very well and her plot was a good one, I just wish she would have fleshed a few things out more especially

the villain of the story Tim. Like yes it’s cool that it hits you out of nowhere but at the same time I kinda would have liked more story on him

Another book club read and probably the earliest I’ve ever started /finished a book club book - I usually am racing to read them the days before we meet ! This one gets a 6.2/10.

Honestly, the book was very intriguing at first. I raced through the first 120 pages or so pretty quickly - and then maintained my pace because I was committed to finishing the book fast. But it gets very repetitive and boring. A nonstop cycle of chapters that alternate between 5 characters, all of which seem to always end on cliff hangers with very minimal, if any, progress happening in the book. Nothing really happens until the last 30ish pages and then it all happens really fast. The ending was annoying as well but I really can’t expand on that more without giving spoilers. There’s also not really a whole lot of “fair” hints to make it fun to try and guess who did it. (Guessing who did it is my favourite part about mystery books).

It’s possible that because this was also a mystery “who dun it” book that does not remotely measure up to the mystery book I just read/posted about, I’m being a bit harsher on this novel as a result. The writing is simple, it does keep you wondering, but ultimately was kind of a “meh” book overall. I wouldn’t recommend against it, but I also wouldn’t actively promote it. If you’re really into mysteries / cliff hangers - you might like this book !
