I really really enjoyed this book, but it’s too sexual for my tastes. I also can’t decide if I love or hate the ending, so there’s that.

If you like psychological thrillers, I’d recommend it. However, I would NOT recommend this to anyone under 18 because of the descriptive sexual content.

Would have been 4 stars if it hadn’t taken 150-200 pages to get interesting. I almost stopped reading because it was so slow to reveal anything beyond the initial setup.

I really liked this book but I hated the main characters. I wanted Nick and Amy to have horrible things happen to them and while they did, it wasn’t enough for me. I enjoyed having both Nick and Amy’s perspectives, it definitely helped develop the story far more than if it had just been one. Honestly, everything was pretty unexpected.
