No spoilers here, but wow. That ending. 🫢

I was able to predict some things- or at least I had ideas in the same ballpark. It was at times confusing with all the past and present story lines, but I eventually got the hang of it. 

There are still a few unanswered questions, so I’m wondering if there will be a second book? 

I do not feel good after reading this one and would probably warn my sensitive reader friends about the murderer’s shocking, heartbreaking, detailed retelling of the crime.  Don’t get me wrong, the book was good, just sad.

A page-turner that had me hooked from the beginning and kept surprising me until the very end!

Would’ve given this a five, except that I was frustrated by the ending. Storytelling was well done. All throughout the book, I had more information than any of the characters at any point in the story, but still, there were multiple red herrings to get through. And even though I had parts figured out in advance, including what really happened that night, which was only revealed at the very end, I was frustrated because there were multiple time lines, and the present time line was too abrupt for me.

I enjoyed the book and I liked the twist at the end, but god, that ending was so unfulfilling. I don't want the author to say, "Here, the ending is unfinished so you can make it up!" That feels lazy and unsatisfying. Blegh. I am disappointed. The writing was overall very good and engaging, but I just kept looking at the amount I had left and thinking, "surely not, surely there's more, right????"

I really enjoyed this book. Even when I thought I had it figured out, it kept me guessing. I found the main character really likable and relatable. I definitely recommend reading this book!

Very good. Lots of twists and turns. The end is sad and hard to read but necessary in order to bring closure to everything. All in all, very good.
