3.0

I found this to be cleverly written however, I found it mixed paced. This book is split into four parts. The first and last I found quicker than the middle two. This was more to get the information and back story, set a number of months before the first and last parts. I’m glad these were there to let the reader figure out what and why things were happening. Due to these two parts being slower-paced, I felt it lost its momentum for me when reading. I haven’t read many books that have included the mental health disorder that Felicity didn’t know she had. I’m glad to have read it in the way the author has in this book. A person might be aware their mental health isn’t perfect but being aware of their true mental health problems can take many years and even longer, to come to accepting help for this. Even though Felicity wasn’t wanting the help that was being offered to her. She and other characters were able to get the answers required so no unanswered questions were left for the reader.

3.5 stars.

wasn’t exactly what i expected, but it was a good thriller. the multiple perspectives were well done, and the twists weren’t too predictable. ending felt rushed though and a little lazy.

Mehhh. Started sooo good but the middle was just too drawn out and lacked in suspense. I can see why the book has the hype, because the concept was good, but overall…i didn’t like I needed to finish it ( I did but still)
