3.5 stars. My first destination thriller, so I liked it but definitely feel I would quickly get bored if I tried reading too many other destination thrillers. A bit slow and I honestly disliked every single character, but I appreciated the twists and turns and thoughtful plot construction. HOWEVER, there really should be a huge content warning for this book as it has a very graphic depiction of SA that I was not expecting. I also think it has some problematic portrayals of mental illness and sort of perpetuates some toxic masculine perspectives. Just some things to be aware of if you’re considering reading this.
What an interesting twist on a thriller/mystery. This story is told from two different girls perspectives and they blend together so well.
It took me a hot minute to get into this - but once I hit around 60%, I was hooked and it started to become faster pace.
I saw the ending coming a bit, but the way that Sara twists and turns, the epilogue is what really shocked me.
I think as a starter book for Sara Ochs, this was a hit. I’m excited to read other books she publishes to watch her mystery stories grow!
⚠️: sexual assault, murder, abuse, and family trauma.
