Three hundred gone. Just six left. The building was once home to families, friends, children, couples, love, life. Now, almost every apartment is empty, the inhabitants forced out by the developers... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I did not care for this book in any way or form...I thought it was very boring right from the start!Way to much filler.

I wanted to read this book based on description. From the beginning, I really struggled to connect with the pages. I wish I had an honest reason why, but the only thing I can think of is (since this was an advanced electronic copy) that because of the font that it was displayed in, it made it physically difficult to read.
Aside from that, the book was okay. Now that I am finished, I liked the plot. The part I didn't like was the "Then"/"Now" back and forth. It's not the first book I've read that uses a timeline like that. But this felt like there was just too much of it going on. And it felt haphazard. At times while reading, I mentally felt lost. The order and points in time they went back to seemed out of order.
I also struggled to connect with either of the main characters. I couldn't figure out the significance of their big age gap. And the character that I assumed (based on the description) was to be the 2nd main character, should probably have been the actual main character.
I finished the book, and was glad I did. I enjoyed the ending and how it played out. It was a great way to close the book. I might recommend this to my psych thriller reading friends, as you definitely are always trying to figure out what is going on.
