This book was incredible easy to read and kept me on my toes despite the fact I guessed one of the major plot twists. This book also Low-key gave me anxiety but overall a complex incredible thriller (and this is coming from someone who only really reads fantasy dystopian and romance novels because I don’t like crime mystery or thriller)
