Wow I had such HIGH expectations for this book as it was rated nearly 5 stars on kindle. This plot moved very slow and I think the writer is AMAZING but the placement of some things was difficult to follow with. Such as the flashbacks within immediate moments. I understand this is to show her thought process but it was overdone making it less of a treat and more of a burden. I think this plot is SUPER predictable! Maybe I’ve cracked the code for thrillers. Anyways, the writing was super detailed and beautiful. But a lot of this was just repetitive at times and dense. For me the level of suspense was a 1/5!
