*nervously laughed* what an ending. I couldn’t really count what TWs I should add, because a slow, misleading start, leads to an heartbreaking (and maybe a little predictable) and twisty end. 
As a reader you directly focus on Cadence thoughts, being torn apart, which makes the writing style at first a little distracting/bricky, but is totally understandable—because that’s how Cadence injured mind works. 
We follow her through every emotion, and even in this fast paced novel, it was perfectly enough to cope with—until the end.

The first half is good, but then the liars keep acting weird and bam the plot. Over all this book is highly entertaining and does not require much thinking. Since the whole book is about the plot, maybe i won't read it again.
