I can't lie, I thought I figured it out, and I was wrong.  So that's a plus.  But this book was so repetitive.  I lost track of the number of times "it was too much" and Hannah "simply could not do it".  Just constant throughout the book.

SPOILERS 

Really enjoyed this, kind of reminded me of if we were villains. 

I would have NEVER guessed Hugh was April’s killer until those last few chapters, i was so sure it was going to be Will the whole time up until then, and I love a plot twist so automatically loved this book
