I really really thought I knew who the killer was but nope. Not even close. This book had me on my toes, from beginning to end, through every twist that kept happening.

This story is told from 3 POVs: His (Jack's), Her's, and the truth (the mysterious killer).

I reread each POV that was the killer's 3 times each to make sure my guess of the killer was probably correct. It still wasn't. Alice Feeney did an excellent job at keeping you guessing.

This book gives me weird, sex cult Heather's vibes but grown up in a mystery thriller book. I honestly think that's the best way to describe this book.

More graphic than expected, and too much focus on some of things mentioned in the content warnings. This book is trigger warning central, it's a lot. Surprised me here and there, but not her best.

I hadn’t heard to much about this book going into it except a few people mentioned it was a “must read”.
I wish I had ignored them. This book had potential because of the very nature his versus her narrative.
Unfortunately the ending was complete garbage and totally unbelievable. All signs point to person “A” for the entire book until the very last second when person “Q” confesses and you’re like…huh?
