"Extremely interesting concept but way too long that it needed to be in my humble opinion...im exhausted ! "

"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. "

Jama Glenn

"Such a unique setup to this novel. More suspense and at times completely creepy, it’s a true page turner. Unfolding over a week and through a variety of characters and possibly unreliable narrators, the reader is taken on a crazy adventure of discovery both internal an external and independent of time. #suspense #pageturner #psychological "

"BRILLIANT. Hooks you immediately and the story compiles together perfectly to make for an extremely satisfying conclusion that I absolutely LOVED"

"So much information to remember to keep the story straight. I loved the book but I had to retrace my steps a lot - much like the main character! Read this book but TAKE NOTES!"
