Absolutely fantastic mystery. I loved the complex characters and the multiple POV's were perfect for showing how we bullshit and rationalize to ourselves. 

This is very much a book for people who enjoy morally grey characters. If your main character has to be a good guy for you to enjoy it, give it a pass. 

I also really loved seeing the complex workings of what running an Instagram account for a living is actually like. It seemed very realistic to me and I found it super interesting. 

It had a fantastic ending but the last couple pages watered it down a bit in my opinion. I also thought that one particular scene went on excessively long.
The scene in which the baby is found dead was really drawn out.


Overall, a fantastic book and I can't wait to pick up the next one!
