wow. mcfadden has done it again! another thrilling, enticing book! granted, while the subject matter disturbed me greatly, mcfadden handled it with finesse; no romanticizing of it at all.
the book is split up into three parts and told from the perspective of multiple people. it tells the story of addie, a sixteen-year-old student at caseham high school; her math teacher, eve bennett; and eve’s husband, nate bennett, an english teacher at the same school— and the terrible web of lies and manipulation that is woven throughout the book.
honestly, i started this book at 11:30pm and it’s about to be 8:30pm as i write this review. it had me that hooked! there are characters you distrust and dislike, which mcfadden does a good job at, i’ve noticed. because then you never know who to trust! you’re always suspicious of what’s going on.
overall, even though i did not see some twists coming, i was going along for the ride until the very end. seriously, 10/10! solid job, mcfadden!
