My daughter recommended this book to me, they're reading it in school (8th graders get to read WAY COOLER books now than we did apparently) and I loved it! I loved the concept of how it tells the story backwards, I hadn't seen that before. I've read a lot of mysteries/thrillers and this is the first one with a twist that I absolutely didn't see coming. Without giving any spoilers, of the two reveals, I had one pegged from the beginning, but the other completely shocked me. I'm pretty good at identifying what the twist is going to be, and even if it doesn't seem obvious yet, who it probably will be based on how unlikely it seems, and I was still wrong. Not to mention all the twists along the way! This was a great read.
