"Again I read this book for a friend where in normal circumstances I would have just dnf'd it. There were a lot of unnecessary povs to shift through. I could not relate to the characters. The scene cuts are abrupt. Honestly, I was bored the entire time.
Liz, our kind of main character, was pretty dull and I can't tell you how many things I learned about Heck's dog. Which in no way added to the story. I will say the twist was good but halfway predictable and not worth the effort it takes to get there."
