3.5

Closer to a 3.5. Had figured out what was happening with the main character early on, but until the actual reveal, it was a little annoying to keep track of who was narrating. The second reveal was anticlimactic, and there were too many coincidences to make that second one have any power of it’s own. At least it ended satisfactorily.

4.0

My God. This book is thrilling, to say the least. Timid and small Sadie, brash and confident Camille, charming and caring Will, this book has a wonderful band of characters that you can’t help but hate to love and love to hate. Initially, I was worried the story would be sluggish but I was happily mistaken. While I had pieced together a couple of the twists, I absolutely did not see some of the turns coming! 

A remarkably paced story with a band of untrustworthy narrators, I would definitely recommend this book to anybody looking to get out of a reading slump or if you’re just obsessed with psychological thrillers.
