Let me start with a fair warning, this book is slow in the beginning, but if you enjoy Agatha Christie with a sprinkle of a little something other, then push through. Because if ever a book had a mic drop moment, it's this one and I couldn't stop exclaiming out loud and stay seated in my chair when getting to that moment. Also, I highly encourage you to keep your own set of notes. That's what slowed me down the most with this book, but it was worth it because I was finding myself cross-referencing earlier scenes or things said early on in the book that taking notes made it easier for me to remember the actions done or things said to where I started inserting my own voice and thoughts I had rather than just taking notes of things said or done in the book itself, and im proud to say, that some of my theories proved correct. I took my notes using a Google doc, but whatever works to help you remember specific clues. You'll thank me later. The only reason I rate this lower than a full 5 is the fact that the story is slow in the beginning. If asked what would I change to make it better? My answer would be nothing, because the early chapters needed to happen so you could immerse yourself with the characters in the circumstances they find themselves in. I only rate it lower to give transparency to the fact that the book does move slow, but encourage future readers interested in where the questions of this story will lead them to push through!
An amazing mystery story with insane plot twists! ♡︎ This should be made into a movie. ☞︎ Some quotes I liked ♡´・ᴗ・`♡ “Life doesn’t always leave you a choice in how you live it.” “Too little information and you’re blind, too much information and you’re blinded.” “Instead of the impossible, I’ll need only concern myself with the ordinary.” “Everyday after this one is a gift. I just have to keep walking until I get there.”
