Rezension von Anouk1.5 ⭐️ War einfach nichts für mich. Ich fand wie es geschrieben wurde einfach nciht ansprechend und es war für mich einfach nicht gut geschrieben. Die Story war für mich auch einfach merkwürdig weil ich eigentlich der Fokus auf dem Mord lag aber dann doch auf der Freundschaft. Dieser Mord war für mich auch nicht spannend genug aufgebaut für ein Buch. Achtung Spoiler: Jedoch frag ich mich schon was da mit Greer passiert ist (da sie am ende angerufen hat nach der gemeinsamen Vergangenheit) und warum Linden selbst am Anfang die ganze zeit gesagt hatte dass er ja auch nicht die ganze Wahrheit sagt.
Rezension von Camillespoilers!! so i still think that holiday and michael are supposed to be together.... but I might be wrong now idk
Rezension von Catia i didnt like it at all. it was boring. the ending did get me but the rest was just shit. nothing happened they were trying to solve it and then they just stopped. he was kind of fucking around with both of them and repetitively saying hes an asshole (whick he was and is). 1.5⭐️
Rezension von Amanda GrafI guess I just had high expectations and wanted to read some tongue twisting plot twists but that was an easy read without any real action or excitement. But I like the characters, especially the main character Michael but also Eliza, Jasper and Holiday. But I expected the end more exciting, I wanted to read how all things fall together and that there’s some big mastermind behind it all but instead the end was a bit disappointing. After I complained about all this I also have to praise the writing style. I loved how Linden’s pov was described and liked to know what he thought. I also like the rich life atmosphere, especially during watching gossip girl. With a bit more plots this book could’ve easily been a 5⭐️
