Even with figuring out the major twist somewhat early on, I couldn't put the book down. The story was interesting, and there were still smaller twists that I kept guessing at, but didn't quite figure out as early on. I haven't read a good psychological thriller in a while, and this reminded me what I like about that genre. Also, I usually don't care to read about steamy romances, but it was written well into this story.
I rarely re-read books, but I'm tempted to read this one again knowing how it ends.

A good new adult. I'm shocked.
Seriously, this book is pretty good. Well written, and a confusing plot. Best mix. And that ending? I didn't expect it: s h o c k i n g.

I LOVED this book. Its not a complicated read and for that I doubted it but boy was I wrong. I finished this book a few days ago and it is haunting me. Over the past few days I keep picking it up and rereading it. crazy good!!!!

This was a really good story.. The timeline and the back and forth was confusing but a good story.

Probably one of the most predictable books I’ve ever read... but, a good book!

Sadly, I just cannot bring myself to finish this book. I like the writing a lot, but the dark and depressing elements of the plot just make it too painful to read right now. I would finish it if I thought the book was going to offer some sort of reflection on the fucked-up things that are mentioned there, but so far it seems like it's not going to be the case — some things are just too difficult for a person to bear, so the girl breaks down. I don't wish to make myself read through all of this just to be reminded again how fucked-up this world is — I know that already. Maybe one day I will be in the mood for something depressing and horrifying, but not today.

So many people loved this book. I'm not one of them. I was bored, and hated the main character. I gave up around 60%, mostly because I could tell the twist a mile away and it made no damn sense to me!

So, I really won't talk too much about the story, because really the less that is said the better. I'm not for sure, but I think reading a few reviews actually caused me to dislike this book more. None of the reviews I read actually spoiled me but I think they put me on guard enough that I figured out the twist too early. Thus, the book felt a little slow to me.
I also feel like there was just a reveal of the twist and then the book just ended. I know some reviewers might've wanted an explanation for previous events, but I don't agree. I thought it did well with moving forward, but it just barely moved forward at all. I don't need a whole epilogue, but I would've liked to know what some of the consequences were for actions that occurred during the climax. The title is fitting because the book unraveled the mystery, but it left the strands of rope matted and dirty. Calia Read didn't clean up the mess that was left behind, and I feel as though there it is incomplete without that last step.

Every time I look into my good reads book, I forget what this book was about. I have to read up about it to jog my memory then it clicks. It was a decent story. A bit YA for me but interesting enough to read to the end.
