I went into this book expecting a whirlwind romance. Instead it was a mystery that dragged on so much, that even the last few chapters were hard to get through. I ended up skimming the last 20 pages so I could say I finished it. Even the twist didn’t save this one. It would have been so much better if it was shorter and if we had actually gotten to see the relationship develop.
The writing style was similar to VE Schwab, especially when comparing it to her Monsters of Verity duology, so that was something good about it. It didn’t save it though and j think it’s safe to say I will not be bothering with Our Violent End.
