idk if it's really a 5 star thriller or if I'm just emotional because I'm 4 days sober from those fun life ruining opiates but either way, I can't think of any way to improve this one so I suppose it's a 5 star 🤷🏼‍♀️. plus it's beautifully written and the characters are so real you can taste them.

This book was amazing. It filled the Yellowjackets sized hole in my heart. I was able to figure out one of the twists almost immediately and suspected another one. I kept page flags in this book of different theories and I loved it dearly. Extremely well written. I will have to check out other books by this author.

It's rare when I can't find anything to appreciate in a story. This book was repetitive to the point of infuriating. A slew of on the nose moments, pacing isssues, and a plot hole that should have been fixed during the planning stage. To top it off, I didn't like one character in the book.

I listened to the audiobook and the narrator's performance was excellent, but it couldn't make up for the poor writing.
