I was hooked. The story promised a lot, white lotus-y plot, good characters, GREAT performance. As it develops it becomes increasingly ridiculous, predictable, just boring. What a shame.

There are mixed reviews on this book, so I must admit I took a leap of faith that I would be on the “yay” side and thankfully I was. What I enjoyed about this book was the originality of the story – not fluffy, sometimes intense, sometimes uplifting. It’s a 5 stars, but not the usual “whoop whoop” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ but a 5 stars earned by the eeriness of the lingering attachment to many of the characters and their plights. A book that I feel will feature in my subconscious for some time.
