I was afraid at the beginning of this book that the whole story-out-of-order thing was going to be gimmicky, but I was totally hooked. The writing isn't overly flowery, but it absolutely kept me on my toes. The main character totally needs to get herself together, which felt really real and human. Would def read this one again because I imagine it's a different experience in book form. It would also be interesting to read it in the correct order.

A decent enough mystery / thriller set in a small town with a lot of secrets and things left unsaid. I think this won't be my last book by Megan Miranda.
