I enjoyed this one quite a bit and devoured it all almost entirely within one day. My main complaint is that I don't think we needed QUITE so many twists and turns — but overall, I was satisfied with the way all the pieces came together.

If you’re looking for a summer thriller, you’ve found it!

One of my favorite things about reading thrillers is how much a 3 star “liked it” book is a perfectly lovely and fun and wonderful way to pass the time, especially during the summer.

I love thrillers with short chapters and multiple POVs where everyone has something to hide, and this fit the bill so well! I especially love when I’m genuinely surprised by things and this one got me a couple times so honestly it’s a win!

 I've recently felt like maybe I'm burnt out of thrillers, but this one caught me by surprise. It was twisty in the right places without being ridiculous or dragging. The characters felt well-developed, which often falls to the wayside in these kinds of stories. I just had a lot of fun with the plot. There was lots that I saw coming but other parts took me totally by surprise, which was a lot of fun!

I've probably read way too many thrillers in the past few years, but it's still a go-to genre for me, so it's always fun to find a good one!
