Book Club Notes
If I were to dissect this book, I’d say that the writing was average, the storyline was good but not mind blowingly great, the twists a little meh, and the characters slightly annoying. HOWEVER, I very surprisingly enjoyed this book. Somehow all the mediocre elements came together well to make this so readable. I was so ok putting it down after a few chapters when I got tired, but I was always interested in picking it back up the next day and never once felt I had forgotten what was going on.
Read If
You like to read in small bites. You want an engaging thriller/mystery-esque read that you’ll have no problem putting down after a few chapters, but still be engaged enough to pick it back up.
