I've seen this book in stores but never gave it much thought when I saw it because the last book I read that was in Reese's book club wasn't... my favorite so I figured our taste in books differed. But then I was looking for a new audio book to listen to and I  decided to give this one a chance. Boy am I glad I did! Personally I loved it and thought it was a great mystery thriller book. I almost listened to it all in one day! It kept me hooked and invested in the story. I enjoyed the characters and didn't find the ending predictable. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for a good mystery thriller book to read.

I kind of liked this book. It definitely had an interesting concept and started out really strong. By the time things started to get revealed, I started to get confused. There was a lot to keep track of and timelines and names often got muddled. I was sort of disappointed with the reveal of Mr. Smith, and the choice of direction with the reveal with Ryan didn't make much sense to me. The ending felt a bit forced and abrupt as well.
