This is a good book with some good twists and ultimately mostly good character development.

I’m glad it finished on a positive, more hopeful note for both Kate and Marisa.

Not a fan of anything too unexpected, but desperately wanted to know what was going to happen, so neglected every day life and read this in two days. 
Like the style of writing, though sometimes the description of what was being worn felt a bit unnecessary. 
Would recommend

The pacing was really good throughout the novel with plenty of good twists although I found the ending a little disappointing. Bit of a psychological thriller.
