Felt way too drawn out, the plot twist didn’t really happen until like the last three chapters and it just felt rushed to make sense of everything

Kept me guessing at every turn, I kept thinking about this book when I couldn’t read it, so well written and good tension building. I was genuinely shocked at some scenes and felt strong emotions throughout the book

I think the beginning is a bit slow and not so good, but the plot gets more interesting after reading about 50% of the book.

It's clear to see, this book was written about women, by women. Although their actions might be stupid or weird, they aren't illogical. That's something men tend to get wrong with women.

The part where

it turned out Vanessa and Nellie are the same person, was so good! It really showed how she had changed from one person to another. They were the same, but still very different.

Also, it was great that even the very end of the book revealed new secrets.

I really liked this and I'm looking forward to reading all the other books made by Hendricks and Pekkanen.

A very interesting twist, I guess I should say twists. Enjoyed how it was split into parts and something new was revealed/focused on each time.

While the twists were good, the book seemed to drag a bit for a thriller.
