✨📖Your opinions on this popular novel from 2021 🤔

📕I have had ꧁We Are All the Same in the Dark꧂ in my TBR list for a couple years or so. I started it but stopped around page 60 for some reason.

📗Maybe it’s slow moving, or it’s overly vague then bomb dropping style is not what I’m use to. (￣ω￣;)

📘I’m giving it a second try. I wanted to read something in between my BoTM reads.
