This is an easy, quick read.
The ending was rushed.
It's basically a sort of mind fucking plot. But it isn't because a lot of it was predictable. I also found the setting wasn't clear and strange, as well as the plot having too many holes.

The cheating husband was an asshole. But he didn't deserve this ending.

Normal people would just divorce.

But I get it. I do.

Yet, it is just psychopathic.
The wife killed the misstress and framed her husband for it.
Her partner, who she ends up having a kid with and marrying a day after her husband's execution, also crazy

Up until the last hour everything felt rushed and chaotic. But that last hours in the story with the "plot"twist was rushed and just sick. 

Lastly this felt like a low budget bad murder mysterie show.

First off, none of the characters are likeable. I was immediately put off by every new person added to the mix.  The POV switched between two completely unreliable narrators. However, Adam was just plain stupid and delusional thanks to his mommy. He thought there were no repercussions to his actions and justice would ultimately prevail.....boy was he wrong! Also, Sarah did everything she could from the beginning, right to the end. 

All in all, the book was a god read. I'd recommend it.

HOLY HELL. WHAT A MYSTERY. I COULD’VE NEVER GUESSED WHERE THIS WAS GOING AND EVEN WHEN I THOUGHT I DID, THE STORY DOES AN ABOUTFACE AND I WAS LEFT DUMBFOUNDED. THE STORY WAS WRITTEN IN A WAY THAT LEADS YOU DOWN A CERTAIN PATH OF KNOWING WHO THE KILLER IS AND ISN’T AND I WAS STILL SHOCKED. INCREDIBLY WRITTEN, I WASN’T PREPARED FOR THE FINAL 5 PAGES.

This book reads really fast and does keep your interest the entire time. Not much to say without spoilers, I enjoyed it and would say I liked it I just wouldn’t say I loved it and continue to think about it. Still a really good read and would recommend just not a top for me. Still good story and shocking twists and etc.
