All of This Is True by Lygia Day Peñaflor
3.0

I was excited to read this. The synopsis made me think it would be psychological suspense type of book. However I feel a little let down because of my own expectations.
The writing was different than usual, written as interviews, journal entries and book extracts. At some points I wished it wasn't just this. I felt it was missing something. I felt because of it just being interviews the characters didn't really grow or have much depth, making it difficult to really connect or have sympathy for them,
I still gave it 3 stars because despite this I was still intrigued how it would end. It didn't feel too slow or rushed.
