2.5

Ended up giving it a 2.5. I started reading it and almost dnf after the first couple of chapters but then had a long drive so put the audiobook on. Adam's chapters/narration kept me in, it was actually kind of funny in places (not sure if it was meant to be), but Sarah's chapters and narrator were not good. I would have evened it out with a 3, but the ending made me roll my eyes so hard I was in danger of driving off the road. (This scenario is more plausible than this book).

4.0

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.
