It's a breath of fresh air - to get a satisfying read after a hiatus. The plot is fantastic, it's beautifully written in a way that even if you are able to guess the plot, you still have this satisfying read at the end of the chapter. Highly recommended!
This book gets my money's worth as a beginner in book reading! I love the whole plot, and the twist oh gosh amazing.
The first 100 pages were slow and i almost DNF'ed it. The plot twist were definitely shocking but I think the whole plot buildup were not worth it. There are so many characters that I thought were suspicious but after the plot twist, there were no explanation as to why they acting sus? Too many plot holes and THE ENDING... it ended so abruptly but again the plot twist definitely saved the whole book.
Beautifully written by a debut writer. The twist at the end was unexpected
Worth a read
