    I just felt the ending and investment of time spent reading the book were not worth the effort. The writer is obviously very talented but the story seems forced.
  • Solid start

    Was a little skeptical at first with the it started out but that quickly changed and I myself not wanting to put it down. Interesting characters, full twists and turns, written well. I enjoyed that each chapter was of a different character speaking in the first person. MAJOR plot twist in the middle I never saw coming and an ending I didn't anticipate. Never know who you can really trust! Great read!

    No shame. I had no idea the twist I was gonna get with this one until it started to actually unravel nearing the end. Not what I expected. There were enough suses I could have seen other endings. It wasn’t far fetched, it was def psycho thrilly and the characters weren’t all over the place, so easy to keep up with. I’ll def check out her other work.
  • Decent, slow and rushed at the same time

    The story was good, but the ending felt incredibly rushed for how long some of the characters needed for development and the story to come together. Overall still recommend for an easy weekend read.

    This is exactly the kind of book I was looking for. It going back and forth in personal perspectives and in time. I didn’t expect anything that was happening either. True psychological thriller. I was sad that it ended.
