"Read it. Just do it.
This book is so unique and the writing was executed perfectly. It can be confusing and you will be totally lost at first (but you should be!) The author did a great job at letting you figure out the mystery with the main character, no massive clues/spoilers. Some people didn’t like the ending but I enjoyed it. It was one of my guesses and I was happy to see it play out that way. 10/10 great book! "
"At first I was very weary of the switching of hosts every day… worried it would be a little too unrealistic for me to follow, but the story was so gripping that didn’t matter. Did I get confused, sure, but it was a fun way to experience this day that repeats without it getting old. The hosts Aiden finds himself in sure give him trouble, which adds another layer to this mystery. Solving a murder that doesn’t look like a murder… twists and turns I didn’t see coming. "
"I read this book in four days. Oh my goodness, what a compelling premise and how well-executed. There were a few plot holes around the wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff, but the mystery itself seems to have been airtight. The explanation for why the premise is what it is is flimsy, too. The characterizations, though, and the twists and turns are excellent and captivating. It's a greatly entertaining book."
