A Guide to the Dark by Meriam Metoui
3.75
dark mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Overall I really enjoyed the story. Thought the complex characters ' struggles with identity, family and their friendship added a lot to the impact of the plot. The mystery was well paced but there was still an ending  hook/twist. I had some mixed feelings about some of the character choices the during climax but do understand the connection.
