I enjoyed this book, I read it in just two days and was interested the whole time. There were some good plot twists at the end, so I'm glad the book didn't end how I thought it was going to. However, it's not a 5 for me because I don't think it was the most shocking ending ever and I didn't find myself that emotionally invested in everything that happened. I would recommend this book to people who like fast paced and easy thrillers, but I don't know that I liked it enough to pick up any more books from this author.

I have no words to describe how good this book was. I completely did not see the twists coming at the end and I think that's what makes it so good. As the story unfolds, you're left wondering who to believe. I highly recommend.

This book was SO gripping. It wastes no time throwing you straight into the plot, so it is very tense right from the beginning. I have read some of the author’s other works and she is so good at throwing you off. I thought I knew the twist that was coming but I was wrong in the end. the entire book gives you a sort of “this is so weird” feeling that you just want to know more and it keeps you hooked. The characters aren’t shallow and they are interesting to learn more about as the book progresses. The ending is shocking and it has made me want to read more of her works. This is an excellent thriller and why this genre is so fantastic.

Per usual, I finished in two days... Her books are always so easy to read and I consume them! I was NOT expecting the end... I was 100% sure I knew who EJ was but as usual, she comes in with the twist! I can't say if this was my favorite of hers but I really did enjoy it!
