I really enjoyed this book! The main character was relatable and also had layers. While I
do think that they absolutely should be held accountable for driving so dangerously especially with a child in the car, and that wasn’t really the message, the character was still likable.
the plot twists were fun and even though I guessed some, they definitely threw me off at times. I thought the different perspectives was fun and well done. I was worried because I don’t ever want to read from a killer’s pov (with the exception of my sister, the serial killer) I think it was done tastefully and in a non glorifying way. 
Also the line “Okay, that’s fine. I’ll get in another way.” still has me terrified!
