3.25

3.25 ⭐️ Thank you NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer for early access to this book. 

It’s super hard for me to rate this one. I did like it, and I wanted to keep reading it to find out what was happening. But I really didn’t like any of the characters.  They kind of annoyed me. 

Eden and her husband are recently separated as their daughter who isn’t taking it well is off to college. One night while all alone Eden stumbles across her old college crush’s profile (Justin) and friend requests him. They immediately start messaging. Things quickly escalate and Eden finds herself doing things she normally wouldn’t be doing 
However, weird things keep happening and Justin seems to know way too much about her and her family.  Them Eden’s world is turned upside down. 

this book definitely leaves you on the edge of your seat but I do feeling like it’s missing substance.  The characters just aren’t relatable. I’d recommend it if you want an easy suspense book. But not a must read.
