I loved this plot, the way the author has set out this story. The twists and turns she takes us on, the clues were there but I just didn't see most of them coming. And what even?? 
I completely understand that trauma can often be buried inside one self but to this extent! Must read!

This was wild, and hard to put down. Margot was more relatable than a lot of other protagonists and I enjoyed the writing style.

I didn't think I'd like the twist that Margot was Bethan but I feel that it ended up trying the story together well
