My honest review is that I am not able to finish this book. I’ve tried. I did not give up easily. I pushed myself through 151 pages of it. Then I set it aside, hoping that it was a matter of mood and that time would make it more bearable. Upon picking it up again, I’ve taken three days to slug through another 19 pages. It seems that I am not the right reader for it and finishing the book won’t lead to a positive rating. Although the premise is incredibly intriguing, I cannot get into the story and dislike the detached writing style.

This book is more literary fiction than thriller, despite how it is being promoted. I’ve no issue with slow burns but I am not intrigued enough to push through to the end. If it’s on your TBR, keep it there, but go in with the right expectations. I hope your reading experience is better than mine.
