I loved this book. It started out kind of slow and typical mystery. But that twist was so surprising. I couldn’t see it coming. Very well done. There are some parts where it slowed down and felt lost. Along with some places with out of character moments.

5.0

Omg this book was so dang good! tere were like 15 plot twists and i loved every single one of them. basically this woman is a celebrity and she finds a woman in the lake limp motionless, whom she saves and befriends her after reviving her. after then dhe finds out the girl lives woth her husband in the glass house across the lake. she then uses her binoculars to spy their house because she felt that something was off. soon the woman she saved from the lake goes missing and shady stuff starts happeninf and you’ll have to find out yourself!! literally so good. also, this book skips back and forth from “before” and “now” and they finally crescendo into the same time line which is super fun to read. might sound confusing right now but the “now” parts are super short so don’t worry. also they are to keep you wondering and wanting more. so good!! such a fun read i read it in 2 days.
