Riley Sagar has done it again! This is easily my favorite book of his, and I can only hope for more.
Charlie as an unreliable narrator, often stuck in her "movie mind," is such a fun way to distort reality. As soon as I felt like I had her figured out, more characters started getting POV chapters, which further changed how I viewed the story.
Even though I figured out the truth about Josh and Robbie early on, the story was still so full of tension and twists that figuring it out early took away none of the fun. Marge caught me off guard, though!!!
I honestly cannot rave enough about how good this suspenseful thriller is, and I love every minute of it.
