I really enjoyed reading this book A LOT! I loved the dual POV and the time stamps for each chapter. I also really liked how there were chapters sprinkled in where we didn’t know who’s POV it was, we could only speculate. 

While I liked reading the book, I wasn’t obsessed with the ending. When I was reading I was trying to figure out the big twist, and I feel like my prediction would’ve been a better story line. But I really didn’t see all the smaller tiny twists that seemed to happen each chapter and that’s why I loved reading it! 

This was a really good one by Alice Feeney and she has slayed me once again!

I ended up being more into this than I thought I'd be. I surprised myself. It has you guessing literally from the first to the last page. It is a gripping murder mystery with a full cast (and a ton of triggers, please be vigilant about them). I had previously read Rock Paper Scissors and it wasn't for me, but this book was going through my the traveling bookclub I run in my discord group and I am glad I ended up with it because I don't know that I would have gone with this author again otherwise. this is a fun weekend thriller read. Vigilant moment for sure. Solid 3.5.

Alice Feeney does it again! I really thought I had this one pegged and was ready to be disappointed but I didn’t see it coming! I love how her intricate stories come together so we’ll at the end and they’re really not that far-fetched! 
This was super fun and I listened to it in one sitting. I also loved that the one POV was narrated with the voice distorter! 
The only thing I didn’t particularly care for was the extra descriptions of the sexual things Rachel did. It was easy to pick up on what kind of person she was, so I thought that was a bit overdone….
