This book started off slow and I wasn’t quite sure I was going to enjoy it, but it picks up halfway and really gets good.
The premise of all the characters gets having secrets is intriguing and I enjoyed that some secrets were hinted at enough that I could guess them (and feel the rush at being right) and others were obscured enough that the reveals felt thrilling.
The ending is wow, best twist, definitely worth it! So good!
