I’ll admit that I’m a massive sucker for doppelgänger stories, so I was practically guaranteed to enjoy this novel before even beginning to read.

Pacing was great, I particularly enjoyed the characters, the story was super fun, and I was hooked from the start. I did find the writing to be a little heavy handed for my taste, like as a reader I wished Starling trusted me a bit more to get what she was going for. This felt like a thriller, which I don’t typically enjoy, but I had a fun time with this one.

Starling’s The Luminous Dead is often recommended in my circles, and it’s officially being bumped up on my TBR because of how much I enjoyed this one.
