Definitely a page turner. There is nothing good about the plot line or the characters in the novel. Left me feeling disgusted.

I had the hardest time deciding whether to give this 3 or 4 stars. I thought Hawkins did an excellent job with the characters, and with making dramatic events still seem like they could all plausibly happen to the same group of people, or that a person would make a certain choice because of an earlier event or choice.
I've seen some reviews say all of the characters are bad people but I don't feel that way. They are definitely imperfect as people but in realistic ways, with plenty of shading and varied internal lives. They may fail themselves or hurt people but (as with real people) not all of them purely out of selfishness, immorality, or amorality.
This book feels to me far less like an empty "trick" than Gone Girl did. Gone Girl was clever but pretty hollow; this book to me has a much realer feel.

The plot ideas were mostly inventive, but the story dragged on in some places.

Es una historia muy adictiva, siempre quieres saber un poco más. Es bastante sencilla, la recomiendo para retomar el habito de leer. Te deja con sed para un proximo libro.
Great little thriller. A compulsive page turner with a satisfying pay-off. The writing is not very literary, and the three voices are almost indistinguishable, but a well-crafted plot. A summer speed read.
