Loved the concept of this one but the execution just fell flat for me. The ending felt like we didn’t actually resolve anything and just kind of went “it is what it is” 🤷‍♀️ which makes it hard to then care about the story overall. Also I will never fully enjoy a book where the dog unnecessarily dies especially when that dog is a PUG 😡
