This was pretty solid. It moved quickly, but I didn't get super connected to it. Maybe too many POVs?

I had a hard time getting into it because it was slow and had many many perspectives and flashbacks. But at about 75% into the book, it got good.

maeverose's review against another edition

This was my first attempt at a thriller, I only picked it for the cover tbh. I’d suggest skipping it.

The first third was somewhat interesting, but then it derailed for me. There are too many characters and povs, some of which seemed to have been thrown in unnecessarily. I also really don’t like to read about stalkers so it got a bit triggering for me. I looked up how it ends and it wouldn’t have been worth it to keep reading.

It also really felt like it was going to have a ‘childhood trauma and mental illness makes you homicidal or a stalker’ Kind of take, as the two antagonists seemed to be the only characters in the entire book with mental illness issues (besides Hannah’s mom, who was also just a shitty person). This came out last year. We’re done with that trope. That should never have been a trope to begin with.

Thankfully I got this for free at a little free library so I didn’t waste my money.

A decent thriller detailing the story of how much does genetics play a role in who we are. 

Parts of the book felt too complicated than they needed to be and the ending felt too fluffy to me, but the writing was solid and the characters well developed.
