I feel like this is the best thriller I’ve read in a while. Like a thriller that actually had twists and turns. This would make a great movie! A times the main character made me mad, but it was forgivable.

The writing style of this book threw me a little because third person is hard for me to follow or enjoy sometimes but I got so sucked into this I finished it in less than 24 hours. 

I was NOT expecting the way this unraveled or how the people connected. Please check the trigger warnings because it’s fucked up. 

If you’re looking for a thriller that you could read in one sitting if you had the time because you just need to know how it’s going to end, this is it.
