This book had a slow start and it took me a while to get on board, but once it  starts, it’s a pretty fast read. Great suspense and the mystery keeps you guessing. I had so many theories, but definitely wasn’t expecting the end.

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 was disappointed by this book. I thought the concept was ok, but there are a lot of major holes in the plot that are supposed to make you question a character but comes across as the author just changing plot directions half way through the plot. I guessed the plot twist and didn’t like that the ending was very abrupt. One page, the plot twist was happening and then the next page it’s 6 months in the future without any warning.
