Thoughts

This was a bit of an odd book and I’ll be honest, I had to power through it but thankfully it was very easy to read and get to the end of it. The story was okay, and the mystery side of it kind of interesting but the main problem is that the characters were all just awful. I wasn’t rooting for anyone, or even that interested in their motivation, so that made it an ok book to read but not one that’s going to stick with me in any way.
