YEESH, what a horrible, twisty, downright NASTY easter egg hunt of a book. I didn't know I'd end up with a readalike that blended summer, fireworks, and my corpse and the laws of the skies together so soon after reading both. I need a long bath.

Confessions is a relentless read about the repercussions and reprisals of revenge. Warning this book won’t let you out of its savage grasp even after its last page. This one will stay with me.

 The book is DARKKKK do not read if you’re not in a good headspace. Not gory but dark. Please read the trigger warnings 

This book captivated me because the story was so different. I can see how some readers might not like to re-read the same story but honestly the different POVs telling the same thing I thought was very cool. I’ve never read a thriller like that. Every character had a major flaw and every character I disliked but the plot kept me very engaged. The author does a good job of creating these characters that are interesting to read but also make you think wtf is wrong w this person.
