I really enjoyed reading this book. The final twist was a total surprised. The beginning is a bit slow but then the story unfolds and I was gripped!

Trigger warnings: Bullying, gaslighting, death of a child, suicide, kidnapping, domestic violence, sexual assault. 

I had never previously heard anything about this book and I'm fairly certain I've never picked up another book by this author, but this one definitely left me wanting to seek out more of her work. There are a number of things about it that could potentially be triggering so that is something to be aware of, but the story grabbed me from the first page and I never did manage to figure out exactly how it was going to end. I didn't necessarily LIKE any of the characters, but they were very well written and I couldn't wait to see how it all unfolded. I definitely recommend this for anyone who's interested in ensemble thrillers.

 It has quite a nice pace to it althought in the last few chapters it escalated way too quickly compared to the rest of the plot.

I feel like by the end you really are one with the main character in terms of all the emotions.

Somehow, it has a plot twist that you can feel coming your way throughout the whole book and yet not really.

I was pleasantly surprised by this book. For whatever reason I didn’t have high expectations for it but it turned out to be a great thriller. 

It was decently paced and I was intrigued early on. The ending took me by surprise. Reflecting on it I’m a little surprised that it did (I’m not upset about it).
