This book told a good story. It kept me guessing the entire time and in the end I still didn’t know what would happen. I always think that a good book is one that I can’t predict, and this was one of them. I didn’t rate it five stars because of the fact that some of the details were confusing, but that might be due to me being distracted while listening to the audiobook. Not sure. Overall, good story and interesting ending.

This was a super quick audiobook for me- kept me engaged and eager to hear what was happening next. Usually I get bored when chapters are based in flashbacks but for this book each of those moments were intriguing. For a while I thought this was going to be a 5 star but at the last quarter of the book or maybe closer to the end, it started to disappoint me because I felt there was too sudden of a drop in energy/ thriller tone. So it ended up between a 3.5 and 4.

This was a fast, easy, but intense read. This book reminds us, point-blank, that humans are complicated, multi-faceted, messy, and impossible to understand. Do we ever truly know anyone other than ourselves?

I enjoyed this book a lot. Definitely one of my favourite summer reads, but I'm just a sucker for thrillers. Loved just everything about this book, it was so well written too. Only reason for not giving it 5 stars is a few complications to understanding the plot, so I had to go back and re-read a few parts.
