This book had so much potential but in the end it just fell flat. A story about two people who recently got into a relationship forced to move in together in the middle of a global pandemic, that sounds like a fun read! However, that isn't really the story that's being told. The characters were vastly under developed and I couldn't connect to any of them. I thought the COVID-19 angle felt a bit forced, the couple interacting while living together was actually such a small part of the story and didn't add that much. This could have been done just as well without this "forced proximity" thing (that wasn't actually even forced!) I didn't believe in their relationship, the twist wasn't even that twisty and the investigators we're annoying and not great at their job!
