 This book was pretty good, not as predictable as most thrillers. However, I saw a few things coming. I understand why she blamed herself, though it was her teacher's fault. I wish they'd gone a bit more into some of the other characters not just in the flashbacks. As multiple POVs would have been better. But overall a good thriller with an exploration of survivors' guilt and trauma.

I’ve never really read this genre before, and I did enjoy it. While I didn’t necessarily predict the twists, they also didn’t really surprise me the way I was hoping.
