There were no boring parts in this book.
Probably one of the best books I've read in 2019. The plot twist at the end.. Like there was no way you could've guessed it. Its just amazing! If I could give it 1000 stars I would

It wasn’t necessary to tell the story from the last day to first day, and in fact made it more difficult to follow along and confusing.
The copy was often times too descriptive - there are only so many ways to say the woods are mysterious it feels like someone is watching you.

I really struggled with the story going back in time concept of this book. It didn’t quite work for me. Some pretty good twists and turns through the book though, a decent thriller.

Overall a good read. Definitely captivating, tho the structure of telling the story backwards leaves something to be desired. A quick read with well established characters. Several interesting twists at the end too, one or two jaw droppers!

It's a small town mystery where everyone has their own secrets. I liked how the it's told in a reverse order from Day 15 to Day 1. Made the story very interesting and unique

The plot of the story is good but I really really wish it wasn’t told backwards. With the story jumping back in time and told backwards I found it hard to remember what happened closest to current day. And when the story switches back to “current” day I couldn’t remember what just happened chronically in the story.
The beginning was slow and picks up. Felt like there was so much build up for the ending to be kind of quick.

This book was a mind fuck. It was also super confusing.

I wasn't a huge fan of it going backwards as I had to think about what was the future vs past but it worked for this story.

Good... up until the "happy ending". it was rushed, sloppy, and pandered to an already unreliable narrator. I wish the ending was more creative if anything - I enjoyed the structure of the novel overall and the writing was generally good. I hate it when endings just take a big dump on the rest of the story.
