I'm surprised by how good the reviews are for this boring novel.

Powering through and hating every page.

Trying to decide if this is worth finishing

Still not interesting. So many words to say the most simple thing. Incredibly repetitive.

I hope this book gets interesting

Did the author somehow publish a whole series without editing a single sentence?!?

This half sister is not a surprise. She was mentioned in book one - randomly - and literally never mentioned again until now. I have been wondering about her and why she wasn’t at the hospital with the sick father since the middle of book 1.

I hate when books waste pages recounting the previous books stories. Also, the time jumps mid chapter are confusing.

It is extremely confusing when the point of view switches mid chapter without any sort of notice. Even a small line on the page would be better than nothing.

Still sitting here confused as to why nobody is asking Adria to do a blood test. It would show if they’re half siblings.

Ew. Why is this book so incestuous?

OK, excuse me while I vomit. It is one thing for a character to think his stepmother is pretty. It is a whole different thing for both of them to have some sort of relationship that is more than stepchild and stepmother. Too incestuous for me… hoping there isn’t more to it than this for obvious reasons.

I prefer much shorter chapters. 20+ minute chapters means I cannot read as easily on the subway, which is when most of my reading happens.

Otherwise, I am enjoying this book. I don’t like that sometimes the character perspective changes to a different character in the middle of the chapter. It’s a bit jarring.

Still unsure how I feel about this book.

Finding this book - and the characters - a bit confusing to follow.

I’m supposed to hate Sylvia, right?

Kind of spoiler, but not really…

What kind of school calls to say you need to pick up your daughter only for you to not actually have to pick up your daughter because she’s no longer alive?!

This first chapter feels like a gossip girl knock off. I hope it doesn’t continue this way.

Enjoying the book, but I really dislike when there are no chapter numbers. If every chapter is called ‘Before’, ‘After’, or ‘Now’, how is the reader to navigate to the correct chapter? Very frustrating.

I really like that this book just starts, throwing the reader right into the story.

Not enjoying this book one bit.

This book is SO boring.

Waiting for something - anything - to happen.

Is this a good book? I’m undecided.

At this point, I’m pretty sure I’ve solved this mystery.

A much different read from Holly Jackson’s other books (in a good way). I was expecting more tween angst.

Went into this book blind. Totally love the premise.

It’s taking me a while to get into this book. It’s a bit slow, but super interesting and well written so far.

Pointless footnotes are a waste of time. The author does not need to share his personal opinions with the reader via footnote. Footnotes should only be included to add information/clarification to the book without disrupting the flow of the text.

Looking forward to wrapping this one up. Not my favorite.
