challenging dark emotional mysterious tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

Not often do books in this genre surprise me every step of the way, but this one did. There was no long, slow burn to one predictable twist at the end, but constant twists and turns.

Saw another review that said this is Gone Girl meets 13 Reasons Why and I absolutely can see that, and love it.

3.0

I liked reading this book but I’m not sure I liked the book. Or I did until the second part, so I guess I liked the mystery. It does seem far fetched; this would never actually happen, and this made it hard to take parts seriously.
