      I really liked the book but didn’t like how the ending went by way to fast and all of the answers were packed in the last page or so. Also I’m also angry at how elin handled every situation

    Yes! I felt the exact same way about this book, especially when it came to the protagonist. This book almost ruined my reading month, but thankfully Sarah Langan’s Good Neighbors saved the day for me. Your eyeshadow looks so beautiful!

    Finished reading it this weekend. I was a bit disappointed and somewhat confused. The epilogue was unnecessary. Why did Laure feel the need to flee the hotel? How did Cecile get a hold of Laure's 2nd phone to trick Elin to meet? That timeline doesn't make sense. I can see Cecile getting the phone AFTER the penthouse incident, but before? How? It was never explained.

    • @ErinMegan
      @ErinMegan  3 роки тому +1

      I agree, there were quite a few plot holes that were never quite explained. The timeline is all over the place and isn’t cohesive at all. I agree about the epilogue, I found it to be a very weird way to go about it all.

    You’d think Elin would learn from her mistakes after she almost got MURDERERD after finding Laure…but no…she still makes so many more stupid mistakes.

    Was so excited too...did not love it. Gave it 2 1/2 stars because I liked the snow setting and spooky sanatorium...liked the short chapters...fast moving. Did not like ending at all...also NOT an Elin fan either.
