*1.5 stars. This is not good. Not the thriller I had hoped for at all, but one riddled with poorly-conceived inner monologues from an unlikable protagonist with twists beyond ridiculous and a jumbled mess of an ultimate premise that proved truly unwieldy for Feeney. It is not a feminist manifesto disguised as a page-turner either, as I would posit may have been the overarching idea. I would love to visit the island of Amberly, the only thing in the book I cared even remotely for and which was wildly undiscovered by this author. Disappointed.
In the best way possible, I could not figure out what was actually happening in this book! However, the ending was very satisfying as everything neatly came together, and it all clicked perfectly like a giant Lego set! 4 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!
