2.5
The beginning had me hooked! I even started recommending it to my friends, then as the POVs shifted and it got more and more unhinged, it lost the plot for me. The story deviated so much from how it started and I was not along for the ride. The way it ended was also anticlimactic and lackluster.
I am disappointed because I had high hopes that as crazy as this book is, judging from the beginning I thought it would be a 5 star read, when in fact I gave it 2.5 for the first half and 0 for the other half.
