I enjoyed this one quite a bit and devoured it all almost entirely within one day. My main complaint is that I don't think we needed QUITE so many twists and turns — but overall, I was satisfied with the way all the pieces came together.

If you’re looking for a summer thriller, you’ve found it!

One of my favorite things about reading thrillers is how much a 3 star “liked it” book is a perfectly lovely and fun and wonderful way to pass the time, especially during the summer.

I love thrillers with short chapters and multiple POVs where everyone has something to hide, and this fit the bill so well! I especially love when I’m genuinely surprised by things and this one got me a couple times so honestly it’s a win!

Oh I loved this! A gripping, pacey and twisty read with lots of secrets to uncover. And then on the flip side it was also a really lovely look at female friendships and identity.
