Thank you to Edelweiss, Minotaur Books, & Macmillan for the opportunity to read and review this book before it's publication date! This in no way affected my review, opinions are my own.

Review: This book was entirely not what I was expecting, but I don't know if that was a bad thing. *shrugs*

I was invested from the get-go, and I really liked the multiple POVs that we got - I thought it kept you hooked while providing just enough information to keep you guessing. Sort of piggy-backing on what I said above, this thriller was nothing like what I expected so there were a lot of times I was surprised until I understood the direction we were going and then it was a bit easier to see what was coming next.

Although one thing I *really* appreciated was that the two "MCs" did NOT end up together at the end - it really kept this one believable that their relationship was important enough to both of them to not let each other go until there was some kind of closure, but also that the relationship would not have survived past that closure.
