Honestly, I was hoping for even more to the mystery. I really wanted to read more about Greta and what happened with her. The mystery surrounding Greta was so compelling but then kind of fell short at the end in my opinion.

I completely agree. There had been a scene early in the book from Greta's perspective and I hoped for many another one later on to give a bit more of her story.

Yes, I still enjoyed the book for what it was. I thought there was a missed opportunity for a truly engaging and thrilling mystery. Had we seen more of Greta or Lea learning morning about Greta, I think this would have been an even better book for sure.

Same, I thought we would read more from Greta's point of view (outside of her diary). I was pretty unsatisfied by the ending.
