SO HAPPY THIS WAS MY PICK FOR BOOK CLUB THIS MONTH. 

Onto the review — if I'm being honest, I would rate this justtt under 5 stars only because the ending wasn't as fulfilling as I hoped. I'd hoped there was a scene with the three of them, a big aha moment for Nina to laugh in Andrew's face. That was the only drawback in this otherwise amazing book. 

This is my first time truly dabbling in a thriller and I think this was the perfect first choice. I wrote down my thoughts and predictions and opinions as I went along and I thought I was on the trail of the plot twist but I never expected it to be executed the way it was. 

I can't wait to read the rest of the series although I might take a break in between.
