This is a book that I'm a bit annoyed with myself about, primarily because I've had it sitting on my tbr for almost a year by now.
I think I happened to read this book at the perfect time for myself because I was spending a lot of time recently thinking about happiness and contentment, so reading this book provided an interesting new perspective on everything for me personally. Also, I might be an odd one out, but I really enjoyed reading Mia's perspective throughout the story. It happened to read relatively close to how I think I might react if I was in her situation, which meant that I was able to gloss over some of the faults more easily since it became more immersive for me.
While the mystery was a bit boring at times, I think what really kept me going throughout this entire book would have to be Eugene. This honestly, is another instance where he happened to remind me a lot of my brother, in his mannerisms but also inability to communicate with the ease that they want to. So I spent a decent chunk of the book intrigued about Eugene and wanting to learn more about him, allowing myself to go with the emotional roller coaster that came with this book.
I think the critique that stuck with me throughout the book was how there were moments where it felt a bit empty, or there were things that was skipped that I would've loved to get as a reader, but I understood why they were skipped for the sake of the book.
Overall, this was a fun read, I can see myself rereading it in the future and absolutely recommending it to others as a potentially fun read for them.
