I loved this book. Ive not read many mystery/ thriller books before so perhaps I need to get more into them. I loved the characters and the plot and the ending. I was feeling everything the characters were and My emotions were up and down. I loved how the book shows the reality of a loss of a family member and how it can sometimes break a family apart rather than bringing them closer together. I loved the deep feelings that Laurel was showing and how it made me feel. What happened to Ellie was destroying and shocking and left me feeling twists in my stomach. I love when a book can make me feel the emotions of the characters. I am glad poppy had her happy ending and that she wasn't left in the sidelines. Ive read many books that contain multiple perspectives but I've never read one with this many. I didn't know if i liked it or disliked it at first but now I realise it had me knowing the characters more and understanding their different opinions.

Really, really enjoyed this book. It was hard to put down, but I also kept stopping to write my thoughts and theories so I could look back on them and see if I was on the right track. I LOVE that the story was well concluded and the loose ends were all tied. AND IT ALL MADE SENSE! There were lots of surprises and scenes that made me gasp out loud without a lazy explanation (read: “it was mental illness” or “it was all a dream” or “it was all a coincidence”). Great story, great execution, great epilogue!
