I wanted a fun mystery/thriller, and that’s not at all what I got. If you read this, go in prepared for it to be way more serious than that. It’s way more of a heavy drama than anything fun like I wanted.

I really enjoyed this one! It was a captivating thriller and I didn’t know who to trust.  The ending felt a little abrupt, but other than that, this was a great read!

Family secrets, muddled memory mystery, how far would you go to escape?

Practically read it in one sitting, a really gripping story. I liked the writing and how the author gave the characters a lot of depth and unseen facets to their personalities and relationships.
Some twists were a little predictable but some of them were a total surprise!! Loved that
