I can never get behind a book that utilizes someone’s mental health disorder as the main driver of the plot. Pacing was good but the ending was not.

This book had me at the edge the whole time. Definitely kept me entertained till the end. I was hoping for a different ending though or more shocking ending but it wasnt bad. I enjoyed reading it and would recommend it to someone who needs a fast read.

This book was incredible and I t had me guessing up until the very end. From beginning to end I was drawn into the story, and as soon as secrets started getting exposed I didn’t know who or what to believe. While the twist ending wasn’t a huge shock, I still enjoyed the book as a whole and I would definitely recommend it to someone looking for a quick mild thriller.
