I was really hoping there would be more of a thriller aspect to this book, but maybe my expectations were wrong. I liked all of the perspectives from different people throughout Alison's life that broke up the chapters.

This book was so good and had potential! Unfortunately it falls flat. They kinda explain what happens to Allison but then they dont? Like they just kinda fill in the blank with the "most likely scenario"  and left it at that. Also what the hell happened to Clive?! Like Sara gets an epilogue and not Clive?! Disrespectful. Also the whole befriending the dude you think murdered your sister is insane. Like the book could have been so cool but the end is boring and kinda predictable.
