What some people will do for attention just baffles me and this book definitely hits that nerve. What an amazing thriller ! I thought the ending was a bit off though because your kinda left with many questions as to what happened with some of the characters but overall I loved this book. Highly recommend!

This one was good. I didn’t see a lot of it shocking, but the ending kind of was. This was a disturbing read, but an interesting look at the characters. I don’t know if me and this author vibe the greatest because this is the second book of hers I’ve read and I didn’t like either endings. They just feel so unfinished and rushed. I did enjoy this one a lot more than the other of hers I’ve read. One of the characters in this wasn’t unbearable so I was able to enjoy it, and the other was crazy so it was interesting to read that POV.
