Highly recommend the audiobook (this is coming from a reformed audiobook hater)! Kirsten Potter put her foot into it. Unfortunately, once we got Kenzie's pov the book went downhill. Jennifer Hillier will never be a five-star author for me — her writing's tacky — but I won't stop trying to get a four-star. Thought I had it this time.

I picked this up from a blind date with a book table and wow it blew every expectation away. I was left guessing throughout the entirety of the book, and yet, the conclusion is satisfying. This book is emotional, it is suspenseful, and it is so so good.

The way that all of the characters are flawed, and how their desperation exacerbates those flaws, makes them feel human. No plot driven protection. It all surprised me in the end.

4.0

This took me a while to get into. However, the last hundred or so pages were really fast. I only sensed the twist right as it was happening and even then I didn’t see all of it coming. Overall I liked it but I wasn’t as knocked out as everyone else seems to be.

A book hasn’t made me cry in a long time, especially a thriller. This book reminded me of how I felt finishing “Pretty Girls”.

Although I had a few guesses about the twists, they still surprised me to be true and how they came together. I love multiple perspectives and it really made the book even better.
