BOTM pick. I had a very hard time getting into this book. It is extremely wordy and some things definitely could have been left out. The switching between Lizzie and Amanda wasn’t difficult to follow, and actually added to the suspense. I would say the real “gripping” part started at about halfway, otherwise it’s just building it up. I do prefer less of a buildup and more of an immediate issue. The outcome you don’t see coming, your constantly thinking “who did it” and all your theories make sense haha. Ultimately I gave it 4 stars just because the first half was extremely boring in my opinion and just dragged. Overall.... Didn’t love it, didn’t hate it either. I will give the author another try, and read another book.
