🇳🇱: Een goed vlot boek. Het boek zelf is vlot geschreven.  Er staan geen onbegrijpelijke woorden in en je leest hem zo uit. Het boek gaf mij een beetje dezelfde vibes als the housemaid van Freid McFadden, alleen dan zonder plot. Dit boek was van het begin tot het einde erg voorspelbaar. Je had gelijk in de gaten wie de slechterik is en er gebeurde niets onverwachts. Hierdoor miste ik een stuk spanning. Een leuke toevoeging was wel dat je het verhaal in het verleden te zien krijgt. Dit zorgt ervoor dat het verhaal toch iets leer diepgang krijgt. Al met al een vlot te lezen boek met een leuke verhaallijn, maar waar wat meer diepgang in mag

🇬🇧: een good and fast paced book. The book was fast paced. It didn't have any hard to understand words in it and you finnishel it in no time. The book gave me the same vibes as "the housemaid" of Freida McFadden but without a plot. The book was very predictably and you know immediately who the bad guys was and nothing unexpected happend. The nice part were the now and past views. That way the book got a little bit more dept. So a fast paced book with a good story line, but it could contain more dept.

alexa, play "no body, no crime" by taylor swift featuring haim. (just kidding. i would do anything to bring up taylor swift.)

this started out well and intriguing, then slowly and painfully became dullsville. we're missing a few chapters here, hello?
