Review
The climax of the story was introduced first in the book which really got me curious while at the same time confused. But I find the first few pages of the book boring. I am also confused, for the introduction of the main character isn’t clear. And the plot of the story seems vague too but only in the book’s first few chapters.
The book actually talks about 2 different stories that are connected by the ‘remember house’. At first, I thought it was going to be a horror story. But the story is more into suspense than horror. It was also intriguing which got me curious and continued the story.
It was still confusing to guess who did it but now I could boast that I finally named the culprit but not entirely all of them and how it happened. But atleast I pointed one correctly. It was an unpredictable story with a mixture of romance plus a lesson about trust. I thought I already know how it’s going to end but was surprised because it turned out to end like that. You will never see the ending coming. It isn’t one of my favorites but I still like it.
