4.5

4.5⭐ !

There were some things that I didn't enjoy and I thought the ending felt a little rushed, but mostly this was an incredible book. I enjoyed reading this from start to finish!!!!

3.5

I liked the story enough to give it a 3.5. However, the reason why it's not a 4 star is because the writing felt off sometimes. The style of writing was very simple and in the context of a thriller it didn't work for me. Millie was also annoying and frustrating me a lot earlier in the book up until part 2. It's only in part 2 I started liking her somewhat but by the time I did, the book was almost over. The mystery behind it all was quite obvious as well. I kinda figured out the plot really early on. Regardless of my nitpick-y thoughts, I enjoyed it quite a bit and it was a quick read.
