I really liked the writting style of this book, it was easy to read and very enjoyable. It was definitely a slow start, but the last 25% is pretty fast paced. Now with that being said, I preferred the first 75% of this book. The author spent a lot of time really telling a story that let you get to know Lena and Desiree. I loved the flashbacks to their childhood together and peeks into Desiree's social/online life. 

What I didn't like:
The ending felt very rushed and unbelievable. I'm still not entirely sure what the killer's motive was. 
Also, the use of the phrase "shit nuts". I didn't mind it on occasion, but by the end, I was just annoyed with it.
