Review:
I had this book sat on my shelves for months and I FINALLY caved in and read it as a Buddy Read.
I wasn't sure if I was going to like it at first as I had heard really mixes reviews. Lots of people saying it was difficult to follow and very confusing.
I actually ended up giving this book 5 STARS. I absolutely loved it.
The plot is almost impossible to summarise, there were so many twists and turns and the premise of the whole thing was so original.
I really enjoyed Stuart's writing style, which led to me to really grow attached to the characters.
The development throughout the novel was fantastic and I did not see that ending coming. There was no way I could have guessed that. The perfect ending to a intricate and will thought out book.
Loved it, would definitely recommend.
