Sally Hepworth, you have redeem yourself in my eyes! Each one of these families have something going on in each one of these houses!! 

Each one pretending to prefect when they open that door! And walk out! I loved it from the 1st page to the last page! It was a nice step from the dark books I been reading but still with the thriller feel!! 

I wanted to know what was happening asap! Lol I was wrong on what was actually happening tho!!

This one was twisty as heck!  I thought it was a really interesting look at post-partum depression and how the mental illness itself may last for months, but a person's actions and memories can last for much, much longer. I was hoping that we'd get a bi girly in this book, but alas.
