I only started to enjoy the story at the 80% mark but then it ended too soon. Those were the only parts of the story I actually found thrilling. The story was just dragging from the beginning up to that point I almost dnf it. Initially was going to give 2 stars because I like this author a lot, the third star is for the twists at the end. Kind of saved the story.

Also, where is the epilogue?? I cannot accept that ending.

Would you go to your school reunion?

This book was a page turner. It keeps you tense throughout, eager to find out what happened. One of the reasons why I love a thriller!

I felt like the ending was a little rushed and some of the characters felt very immature considering their age although I do think this was purposeful, to show how they really haven’t changed much since school.
I loved the multiple POV. It kept me intrigued! I also thought it was so cleverly written in the fact my opinions on the characters changed so much.

It was a bingeable read and I’d definitely recommend if you love a thriller that’s gripping but not too heavy or intense.

The plot twist at the end surprised me, and I was in the dark for the most part. 
I liked the way the book touched on mommy issues and moving on with life after divorce, it gave it a real feel. However, I found the fmc getting with mmc so confusing, like he did what he did and you still get with him - are you ok??

Great mystery novel with misleading narrators and plot twists I didn’t see coming, even if some of the plot points seemed a bit far fetched. Felt like the ending was satisfying.
