This was a fan-freaking-tastic read! I loved every minute of it and I was on the edge of my seat the whole time trying to put the pieces together. This has been one of my first thrillers in a long time and it made me fall back in love with the genre again. I love how everything was kind of wrapped up and explained in the end and the ending in general. This is a quick must read for anyone looking for an easy to get through thriller!
Moderate: Rape and Murder

I cant decide if i liked this book or not. This is the first book I've read from this author so I didn't have any expectations going into it like many other did that read the more popular We Were Liars, but I found the writing style very unique. The book itself is written backwards, so you know the aftermath of the events before actually knowing what took place and it was nothing like I had ever read before. I was extremely confused at first and it took me a bit to get in to it, but for a book that was less than 300 pages I didn't feel rushed or overwhelmed with information, and after it started to pick up and I started learning more it began to make a lot more sense to me. I do wish it had a bit more information on the characters motives, maybe an extra chapter or 2 on her past to kind of explain why she decided to take this route. I might end up rereading this in the future now that I know what happens, I'd like to see what kind of foreshadowing the author included early on and maybe see if there were any details I missed early on.
Graphic: Suicide, Toxic relationship, and Murder
Moderate: Blood, Death of parent, and Injury/Injury detail
