I went between 4 and 5 stars so many times for this. I'm still not sure.
I can't tell if this book had WAY too much going on in the super twisty ending, or if it was just enough to keep even someone like me, who always predicts things early on, interested. Either way, it kept me engaged, I loved the story, and the characters.
At the end, there's a moment when everything is over and wrapped up, and then suddenly it's not, and I was kind of like "really? More? We don't need more. There's already so much. Just let it end." but, giving credit where credit is due, in that "second ending" there was yet ANOTHER twist that even got a bit of a gasp out of me (and I smacked my husband's arm out of shock even though he had no idea what was happening).
Overall, I really enjoyed it, and would absolutely read more by this author.

A gripping page-turner written in first-person POVs. It had me hooked from the start and guessing til the end, though some parts were slightly predictable.
