i like the premise of this book but unfortunately the execution was just not it for me. even when it started to get interesting it felt like a chore to read.

She definitely writes mysterious stories that has me guessing until the very end! I don’t think anything will match We Were Liars, but this was a good follow up. It wasn’t as hard to predict outcomes but the end twist got me!

The way this book is written is what makes it so wonderful. It starts at the end and back tracks, revealing more and more answers and details as we travel back in time with the main character. Beautiful writing. Really a page turner.
