56 Days

Alright. So:

PROS
- Plots twists
- Closed circle horror (kind of..? Not really? In spirit?)
- Intense game of cat and mouse
- Pretty good comedic relief
- Definitely suspenseful as you try to figure to figure out who the victim at the beginning is and then how and why
- Chapters end on cliffhangers

CONS (for me)
- Non-linear can be a little confusing
- Multiple narrators in a non-linear timeline
- Definitely could not decide if it wanted to be more romance or thriller based and I personally wasn't a fan of the jumping back and forth but can also appreciate the duality
- Some of the plot twists kind of felt like when Doofenshmirtz is like “oh, it's just a platypus.... PERRY the platypus”???? But after a while it kind of gets old
- I think some people would definitely like having unreliable narrators but I don't like not knowing who to root for/who to like. By the end I didn't really have anyone I was rooting for so I was just like ... kind of waiting for it to end because then it kept going back and forth with “poor Ciara..... BUT PERHAPS NOT....... poor Oliver..... ALAS!!!!! Poor Ciara again .... But WAIT!!! Poor Oliver .... Oh no, Oliver...” Like by the end I was the most lit about Karl tbh

I feel like this book had a lot of potential for me and I definitely appreciate that it's the first book I've read that happened during quarantine, but it fell short as a result of the cons I described. Again, I'm not necessarily saying they're flaws of the book, I'm just describing elements that I personally was not a fan of.
