i liked this book a lot until the plot twist and ending. the plot twist was not what i expected and felt a little misleading and anticlimactic. if not for that i think i would’ve enjoyed this much more. otherwise, i really liked the concept and the relationships between the characters!

What a ride! This book was such a whirlwind. I definitely did not expect the ending. It was mysterious, sad, and full of suspense. The premise of the book was new and different from most mystery/thrillers. I can imagine this scenario being real even as it seems so unrealistic. I can’t wait to read more by this author.
