3.5/5 ⊹˚. ♡.𖥔 ݁ ˖

I finally finished this - I must be having issues with thrillers because they don't get my heart pumping anymore, and I did really like this one, especially the setting/context. With a thriller I expect myself to be on the edge of my seat and this just wasn't that.

It could be to do with the most amount of time I've spent on a book and my reading sessions were really disjointed, thus the book lost its momentum in my eyes. I don't know if there's enough for me to write a full review - but I think it was really well written, it just lacked personal enjoyment for me ):

aw see we can’t hate her - i’ve got a feeling im going to identify with the main character (until she does something evil) oh she's going to do something evil

ohhhh it's a bit scary i like this from the get go, very fast paced so far
