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!
