this book had an interesting layout as it had a book within a book. however, it was so cliche and i felt like it could have been cut in half. it was a quick read but also i felt very slow, like there was so much focus on describing characters which was pretty shallow. there were two mysteries that got solved in the book, but too be honest, the murder mystery trope is highly overused and this book tried to make it original but besides the structure of the book, there wasn’t anything that unique about it.
