This is the most twisted, dark and sinister book i've ever read on human psychology. You think that you can guess what's going to happen but you will realize soon enough you are wrong. I thought i've read enough books on revenge but this book so far has the smartest plot. It reminds me of "The Glory" on Netflix.
I've read quite many books about multiple perspectives of the characters and i didn't really like any of them besides "Rock Paper Scissors" by Alice Feeney. Still, that book lacks something. This book instead delivers everything that a masterpiece needs. I was so convinced what led the characters to commit their dramatic actions as if i were in their minds.
If you are into revenge, a critical thinker and into psychological-thriller but can't find any good books then i totally recommend this one! This is such a unique book, the one that cleanses your palate after reading too many similar crime thrillers

I think the choices of POVs were excellent, they helped give the same timeline of events more nuances and each one had a twist/reveal that kept you hooked.

It reads so much like someone telling you their thoughts, which came across a lot better through audio. I tried to physically read the book, but the tenses and the way it was written I couldn’t really get into in that medium- which is the ONLY reason why I did not rate it 5 stars.
BUT I LOVED THIS AS AN AUDIOBOOK!
I liked all of the POV’s, and I feel like every section we got to know something new about the story- so we truly did know all sides of it. Sometimes we get all bogged down with only one side and we forget there are other sides and other factors. So I really appreciated and liked that this explored that.
All in all, this is amazing! And the end of chapter one is all the proof I need that holy crap I’ll never forget this novel! Ingenious revenge! Perfect!
