Honestly what a great debut novel. Thrilling mysterious and a little sad. I read this super quickly and was invested in Mary's loss of memory and Drew's search for Lola.
Check trigger/content warnings.
Will read more from this author in the future.

I stayed up way too late reading this! It pulls you in and keeps you interested. I guessed the twist pretty early but it was still enjoyable

This one took me by total surprise. I felt uneasy, waiting for the shoe to drop, for the first half of the book. The isolation and total dependency reminded me of the atmosphere of 10 Cloverfield Lane. 

Drew's story took a bit to suck me in, but once he got his friends involved to go sleuthing, I was on board.

I listened to the audiobook, and both narrators did a great job. Can recommend this format for sure. 

As others have said, don't look up anything. I thought I had it all figured out, but I was not ready.
