I really enjoyed this book and wasn’t expecting all of great twists and turns but I’m giving this a 3.5 out of 5. I have a super irrational pet peeve of the same word being used over and over again to describe something and every time I would see the word repeated I’d get annoyed. I’m not going to say what it was because I don’t want others to over-analyze like me! I really did like this book so please read it.
