Oh my goodness! One of the most, if not the most, fast paced books I’ve ever read. It was insane. I was gasping out loud throughout the whole book. A must read if you like thrillers.

omg this book was so fun, a lot of twists and turns, i was genuinely shocked at the ending. i do wish certain scenes were fleshed out longer, it moves very fast especially near the end. great story overall
