For most of this book, I was sure this would be a 1 star book - it was jumpy, the characters were detestable and unsympathetic and I just didn't care at all what happened to any of them. I bumped it up though because the last third of the book was genuinely engrossing. The characters were still awful and almost caricature like, it was still jumpy but I was genuinely interested in seeing how it shook out once the pace ramped up. Sure, the twist was obvious and to be honest, the end kinda read like the old Point Horror books I would read as a teenager when the villain was revealed, but by that stage I wasn't taking it too seriously and that nostalgia feel kinda worked for me. I'm not sure that was the vibe that I was supposed to have, but it was kinda funny for me. 
 So yeah - I'm grading it 2 stars. I will never understand the hype over it, but the last third is a page turner. Such a shame that you have to read the rest of it to get there.
