I liked the book but ngl I felt it was a little rushed at the end and the story became whimsical and cheesy

I really liked it! I liked the mystery of finding out secrets in your family, my only real issue was the ending and the plot twist. To me, it kinda felt like it came out of nowhere and I really didn’t like the betrayal because that also came out of nowhere. I love surprise plot twist but this was too surprising in my opinion, there was nothing alluding to it at all . I also didn’t really like the ending because a dead relative(s) came back to life and I felt like the whole build up to her finding out about her blood family’s murders went down the drain with that. Overall though, I love love loved the mystery of it all, learning about the Poison garden and the Abystrus Heart (I think that’s what it’s called lol) and the sprinkle of Greek mythology was a plus because I love that! Would totally recommend this book!
