This book was brilliant. It took me a bit to read because I’ve been busy, but I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Even by the time I found out what actually happened, I was still questioning the narratives. Flynn did such a good job at making the characters seem just trustworthy enough while also making you question everything. I thought the writing was brilliant, the plot was planned so well, and the descriptions were also written beautifully.
The only thing I will say is PLEASE check the trigger warnings on this book!
