I don't know exactly how to review this book... I was hooked for the most part of the story but after the major twist towards the last third of the book I lost interest. It felt a bit far-fetched in my opinion... And I feel like the characters deserved better..

I loved this book. I loved the multiple POVs, the killer’s was especially interesting. There were so many different timelines which was a little confusing at times, but so unique. The twists were so good and different than I’ve read before. I would definitely recommend this book!
