Ugh.

I honestly don't know how this book is so highly rated. I had to speed read through parts of it just so I could finish it. I thought the premise was really interesting and wanted to know who the killer was, which was why I didn't DNF it. But man, I wish I had. The reveal and ending were not worth it at all. Those are hours of my life that I won't get back. But hey, at least that's one more book read for my reading challenge.

Anyway. Where do I start? I did not like the writing style at all. So many unnecessary descriptions and metaphors. So many pointless things minutely explained. There wasn't a single likeable character in the whole book. Pretty much everything they did and the way they interacted with each other was exasperating or stupid. I was constantly shaking my head or rolling my eyes. The trial, which seems like it would be a pretty important part of the book, gets glossed over. We get the Defense's opening statement, then the verdict. How did the jury come to their verdict? The one time I wanted details about something in this book... Sigh. Nothing about this book was gripping or suspenseful. The "twists" were lame. The reveal was lame. The explanation of why and how the murder was committed was lame. The ending was lame. All of the characters were irritating and just ugh. The only good thing about this book is that it was in Kindle Unlimited, so I didn't waste my money on it. I won't be reading anything by this author again.
