I loved the way this story was told, with multiple narrators going back and forth from present time to before the crimes happened. Did not see the ending coming at all.

I read this as an audiobook and that is definitely what I would recommend to other readers since it’s more narrative than dialogue.

I really rated this book a 4.5/5. I was hooked and wanted to continue reading this every chance I got. There was one major twist in the book, and once the twist came I was able to very easily decipher the rest of the ending. Very refreshing thriller/mystery for me to read after reading several summer-y books.

wow! i did like this book even though some of the plot was stretched and the writing seemed choppy/lower level. If you can look past that it’s a great thriller with the way the story is laid out with multiple povs!

This got me from the start but the ending left a little to be desired. I have several questions about loose threads that were never resolved and a lot of the plot could have been condensed/left out entirely once you realize the whole picture. That being said, I listened to it nonstop and didn’t see some of the twists coming, so I’d still recommend!
