The characters were not likeable, not even the main character, but I’d still give it 5 stars because of the emotional roller coaster ride! I love how the pacing was faster and didn’t take too long to establish the characters and get into the meat of the story. If someone asks me what a psychological thriller is, I’d recommend this book!

WHEW this book INFURIATED me. There's nothing that gets my goat more a woman not being believed. But I liked it very much, and I really wanted to get to the end. Def stayed up too late listening to it. Ooh it takes quite a storyteller to make me want to have a Spongebob-level freakout. Excited to read this author again.
