Pedestrian, obvious, uninspired.
I want my time back.

A big letdown
I thought this was going to be a great read but instead it was slow going & the end was disappointing, sick & weird. A waste of time sadly

I haven't yet read it but it sounds intriguing! it sounds mysterious and i absolutely love it (keep in mind, i haven't yet read it!)!! I am in the mood for a good thriller and this seems to just hit the spot. I'm hoping all the masterpiece is on the front and the rest is bad, but I'm going to take a leap of faith and go for it (not much of a leap of faith, though!). If you have read it please write a description… but no SPOILERS! I just can't wait to read it!
