This book was fast paced and kept me reading. Each chapter was a little bit of a cliffhanger, and it was interesting to read the story from multiple perspectives.

Nice book. Liked the plot twists and the way story progressed: it’s like I’ve been changing who I’m sided with throughout the story.
I just wish it was faster at the beginning, the first 200 pages were exhausting to read and I couldn’t wait for the story to climax. Also didn’t really understand the purpose of adding

private investigator

it gave a lot of information much needed for a plot twist but eventually led to nothing and ended abruptly. 
Overall good thriller, would recommend.

high expectations, not really met.

kind of confused by Adam's character. The book seems to hint that he's really sinister and plotting against his wife, but then the truth is that he just...what, wanted to go home, so he tried to sabotage the vacation? Seemed pointless to me. And all the 'life is like a box of chocolates' quirky sayings were a little much for me.

The book really has you going, thinking you figured it out but NOPE, gives you twist and then another.
Loved that way its written, from multiple different views.
You never know who to trust.
Great read!

made me uneasy and curious the whole way through and that ending wow. I need to buy a physical copy of this to simply reread and highlight and take notes in the margins. very pleased with the pacing and the seemingly endless twists at the end. all I ever want a thriller to be <3
