I love the way Ellis first develops each character separately and then emphasizes relationships. The structure is beautiful, though I didn’t find the writing that compelling. Some connections seemed forced and overreaching.

4.5/5! I loved this!!! I felt like the beginning was a little slow but once we got about 1/4 of the way through this really flew. As per usual I love a book with multiple view points. I never know who to root for as things kept changing towards the end. I really didn’t see a lot of the twists coming and just as I thought I had it all figured out I would be shocked again. This was a great who done it and would highly recommend on audio as they did a great job

This was a great book!  The story was engaging. It kept me wanting to read more. There was some funny banter.  The story flowed very well. The twist and turns were added seamlessly without forcing the story. I really enjoyed the way the author wrote in the different timelines. It was easy to write back and forth without getting confused. He was very smart in dropping little hints here and there that wrap up the story perfectly in the end. I loved it!!
