"It was kind of slow to n the beginning and kind of through out but it was an excellent read. I loved getting to know each of the protagonists personally through each perspective and decision. Recommend if you like slow paced, intricately wond plots with the twist at the end.😊"

"Personally, I didn’t like it at all and I thought the writing was pretty cringe. I thought the story sounded interesting but I didn’t anticipate the first 2/3rds of the book being that slow. The ending was pretty easy to predict from early on in the book if you paid close attention and I just never found myself at the edge of my seat. Honestly all though I didn’t like it, I would say to still give it a try if you’re able to be more patient than me. "

"Over all it was a really good novel. The main character can be a little frustrating as she doesn't seem to notice anything suspicious about anyone. The mystery it's self is pretty easy to figure out, with a very unexpected twist at the big reveal. As for this twist , I personally didn't like it, overall it seems very out of left field and wasn't really hinted at all. So if you really enjoy the investigation part of mystery novels this one isn't for you . "

"This is my second time reading the book, and the plot twist still got me. This is one of those books where you'll think you know who did it but it'll turn around and be completely different. Would recommend if you're are in a reading slump and need something to get you out of it."
