This was a fun read! It wasn't at first, with the beginning being quite slow and very little plot for a long time (maybe 25 - 30%.... or even longer), but I was also warned so I wasn't worried about pushing through as much as I might have been. I was distracted while listening to the audiobook so I wasn't working very hard to figure out what all the connections were and who might have been behind it. I was just along for the ride and having fun reading it without even trying to attach someone to everything. If I had, I likely wouldn't have liked it nearly as much, so take that for what it is. If you're someone who figures out twists easily, you'll probably figure this one out. It's really not hard, but like I said, I just wasn't in the proper mindset for it. 

The writing bothered me a little bit. I felt like the author was trying way too hard and almost every simile and metaphor made me roll my eyes. They weren't clever and in fact, they were pretty stupid. Despite that, the plot flowed well once the it showed up and things were always interesting. I kind of didn't like the POV of the mother in there because it didn't make any sense how we'd have that POV? I don't know, books do it all the time where we have a POV in the past and I never question it but with three present-tense POVs and one in the past, it just didn't quite feel right. 

I'm trying not to pick this apart and let it be something that I enjoyed so I'll leave it at that!
