This was a quick read and the story was very well written. I enjoyed the underlying moral lessons within. Could be a hard read for some so definitely check triggers.

This was my first time ever reading one of Megan Goldins books! Wow!!! It was a roller coaster of emotions! It was a slow read at first, but quickly picked up pace. Would definitely recommend if you love a good whodunnit, but beware of triggers!
