Everybody lied. I really went into this thinking it was going to be this amazing thriller, but I was honestly bored because nothing much happened. As for the plot twists there was like one and it was whatever. I’m literally so disappointed. It was still fine, I liked lily but I just thought this would be better.

This book was super readable and hard to put down, but that being said it was overhyped which left me disappointed. I was expecting crazy twists but I predicted two major twists (something I’m not usually great at), and then I kept waiting for the real twists which didn’t happen. Lily was a really interesting character but someone pointed out in another reviews that none of POVs had distinctive voices, which is so true. If this is really the best of the thriller genre, maybe this genre isn’t for me!
