When I started Everyone Is Watching , I was genuinely excited—I've read and enjoyed several of Heather Gudenkauf’s previous books, and I was hoping for another gripping read. The premise was intriguing, and it definitely had potential. However, once I got into the story, I found myself struggling to keep up with the many characters and shifting points of view. The frequent changes in perspective made it hard to stay engaged, and I found it difficult to connect with any one character.
