Wow this book was wild. To be honest I wasn’t initially interested in this book, the synopsis sounding pretty generic to me but I saw it was getting so much love and I’m always down for a good mystery/thriller so I started it and just wow. I’m mad I didn’t pick it up sooner because I haven’t read a thriller/mystery book that’s taken me by surprise in a long time. Usually I can figure out the ending, and though I did figure out one piece of the puzzle on my own, there were just so many twists that kept me guessing and on the edge of my seat. I’m already recommending this book to everyone I know.

Full of twists and turns! Very compelling. But somewhat confusing. Might be worth a reread

I had most of it figured out quicker than expected, but it kept my attention throughout and surprised a couple times.

this was good but it felt like too much and not enough at the same time. some things were repetitive and some were underdeveloped.
