Meh.
First chapter is in first-person, then jumps to third person for Chapter 2, then back to first person for Chapter 3, then jumps BACK to third person for most of the rest of the book except for random first person bits thrown in here and there. Very jarring and disengaged me from the overall story.
I wasn't sure at first. I knew something was wrong right away when there were no character names as chapter headings. And after every Keo chapter, it was just more Keo. Another few-hundred page side story? I wasn't feeling it right away.
But those last few scenes were actual fire. And redeemed the entire book and made me 1000x more interested in the follow-up!
DNF 30%. Daisy hasn't had a single conversation or interaction with anyone else in the house. I'm all for twist endings, but they shouldn't be painfully obvious from the start. Won't be reading this author again.
Ehhh. What started as a brilliant concept, quickly devolved into a boring, sloppy mess. I was hoping for another FANTASTICLAND. Unfortunately this was a huge letdown. Avoid this one.
Honestly, I'm pretty sure this was the worst book I've ever read. For the record, I've never given a book one star up until this point.
This had to be one of the most unique concepts for a story that I've read in a long time! Cleverly executed and holy hell what a ride.
Very confused as to why all of the female POVs were written in first person, and the one male POV (Doug) was written in third? It really disrupted the flow of the novel for me, and left me scratching my head each time it happened.
