I LOVED IT!!! i think finishing the book in 2 days says enough, it was incredible! The plot twists Jackson manages to wiggle in were incredible, each stage of the book had an unexpected turn with unexpected outcomes, and somehow it all wound up to a lovely ending, cant recommend enough!

Really enjoyed the pace of the book. Was an easy read that kept my attention and I didn’t want to put it down until I knew the answers. Characters were interesting and weren’t one dimensional.
