This book was a cross between 'The Housemaid' and 'Behind Closed Doors'. I really really enjoyed this book for the first half, and throughout the entirety of the book I truly couldn't put it down. I read it in one day on my flights to Montana last week. This book had multiple POVs and I only really enjoyed Lee's POV. She was the only likable, realistic character. The plot was so unrealistic to me and all over the place. The twists were pretty wild which made for a fun read. I need to not take books so literally or my ratings would definitely be higher.

Regardless, I do recommend this book! It was a fun, twisty, unputdownable read.

This is one of those rare thrillers that comes along and just deserves every bit of hype you’ve heard about it.

Hooked from the very beginning! This book pulls you in quickly and keeps dropping plot twists at the perfect moment to keep you wanting to come back for more! I could not read this fast enough and had to know what was going to happen! Was it a little dramatic? Yes! But it was like watching a tv drama series and I was eating it up! The ending was a little too fast in my opinion and ironed out a little too neat but that’s me being nit picky! Overall I had a good time!

I feel so many things about this book. It’s truly a psychological mastermind.
I had no clue who to trust who was working with who and there were twists throughout the entire book.
It’s hard to talk about without giving anything away so just know this is a must read.

Definitely had you questioning motives from the beginning. Nice twist and you could feel the tension throughout, almost tangible.

One of those "I wish I read it sooner" books! 
Can't wait to read another book by Robyn!

3 stars because I feel like it could have been executed better. The idea was there, but I felt like there were too many inconsistencies. I really like the idea of the girls sticking together. I don't really see much of that in this kind of genre. I just wish it was executed better really

Absolutely addicting right off the bat.  This book lived up to all the hype. 
There were so many twists that I was not expecting and it was heart pounding. I got so engrossed in the book every time I picked it up that I wouldn’t realize how much I had read. 
Part two was a bit repetitive as it was somewhat of a recap of part one, but through a different POV which was kind of necessary, but kind of not. 
The ending was a bit abrupt for me and not at all what I was expecting.  I wouldn’t say it was unsatisfying, but I was kind of hoping for more. 
All I all, I absolutely loved this book and definitely recommend.
