Enjoyable but Forgettable

This is my 3rd to read from her and my least favorite. It's worth the credit and the listen, but there wasn't anything wow about it like the first 2 from her. It was pretty straightforward, not a lot of mystery, and a pretty straightforward situation. Believable, for the most part, but also forgettable. It held my interest and attention, killed several hours while I did housework, but it wasn't riveting. All in all, 3.5. Glad I listened to it, but it won't be one I go back to.

Really fun!

Loved this one, it has a lot of great twists and turns, as well as a morally gray but synaothetic main character. SEMI SPOILERS: The open ended ending is haunting me. Which one was she!!??

So Disappointed with Repetition

This book had a lot of potential. The characters were interesting but not fully developed. The thing that tanked this book though is the outrageous amount of unnecessary repetition. It began early then seemed to stop. I kept going due to the reprieve but towards the end it was unbearable. In my opinion it seems insulting for the reader/listener to hear this amount of saying the same thing over and over. Definitely disappointing as the book had potential.

Ñarration was good despite the repetition.
