This was a terrifying plot that kept me riveted throughout the entire book, especially learning that it is based on similar true events. The emotional rollercoaster the author takes you on is intense and at times you feel like you're living it. The ending was slightly too Hollywood for me, as I think it could have easily gone on for another hundred pages in order to really explore the consequences, as I'm not a fan of everything being wrapped up in a pretty bow. Other than that it was solid.
