The beginning was really slow.

You could really tell that the character was traumatized by the way she kept bringing up the murder victims: Sebastian and Paolo. It got a little repetitive after a while. I knew right away that Kirsten was sketchy; it didn’t cross my mind that she murdered her parents until Jamie was brought up. Bone chilling. We never really got our answers if Kirsten was involved or not. I feel like she was. It seems like Kirsten convinced Jamie to set the fire. Idk.

Freakishly terryfying story. Straight out of life and sooooo normal at first. The book creeped me out as hell but that's exactly why I love it. Sooooo many twists. Wow, just wow.

There are multiple twists and some moments of shock, but in general I felt the climax was predictable. The book was okay. I was expecting a lot more from it.

This book is nuts!! I still haven't fully processed it yet but good lord. The whole dynamic between Emily and Kristen is so well crafted because, like a toxic relationship, the warning signs aren't as red until you look at them under a microscope. I still have questions but I think thats why the book ends this way. It leaves you wondering whether Kristen really did it or whether Emily is just a violent compulsive liar.
