This book was great. It really sucks you in. My heart was pumping most of the time. A true thriller! The plot twists I never saw coming.

Look I literally guessed everything mostly like 20% through and then the rest at like 50%. The first 75% of this was kinda boring because nothing happened,but the last part was so action packed it brought my rating up. Also Sadie was a big idiot for real. Also SLIGHT SPOILER it has mental illness as a plot device which is not the greatest.

2.5

The only reason this got a 2.5 from me is because of the ending. 
But the writing of this book felt so stilted - especially in audiobook format. Sometimes I felt like she took an action and found four ways to describe it. And put all four descriptions into the book. There are two plot twists - the first I saw coming the second I did not. Could have been a great thriller if the writing had not been so poor
