Cringe at most every chapter. The details about student and teacher sexual relationships is definitely not enough to carry this book to the end where twists in the final chapter and epilogue become even plausible. I love a good twist but this just leaves the readers with even more questions about morals and ethics. I kept waiting for anything to grasp onto to make this explainable or understandable. But I guess the joke is on me, because I read it to the end. So there is that…

I’d heard mixed reviews about this book but I was pleasantly surprised! Kept me on my toes the whole was through and I loved the plot twists, although they were very predictable and I figured them all out pretty early on!

So, I finished the book hours before I actually figured out what the ending meant! *face palm* The plot twist changed everything about this book (which is obviously the point of a plot twist). I found some aspects of the plot sick, twisted, and highly manipulative (in typical McFadden thriller fashion).Trigger warnings should be included at the start of these books because McFadden always hits the touchiest subjects. I found all the characters disturbed and in need of help. I can't truly say I enjoyed the plot because of this (hence the rating) but the twist ending did bump up the stars a bit. If you like thrillers and other McFadden books, there's a good chance you'll enjoy this one too.

Honestly this book wasn’t really my tea but the author is great at story telling that I needed to know how she was going to have the twist at the end. All the characters had so many flaws and a lot of times the book was cringy. But somewhat entertaining throughout that I bumped my rating of the book up solely for what happens in the epilogue.
