I really enjoyed this book, while reading I thought yes this is a solid 4 star book but the last few chapters, that plot twist, had me shaken to my core I had to rate it 5 stars. So interesting, such an insight into the damaged mind. Really good read.

Tbh I loved this book I finished it so quickly but, the plot twist it seemed like a big thing but, it wasn’t. I mean was I surprised? Yes, I was. Did I suspect it? Yes, I did. It was too predictable to me. But nonetheless it was a very, very nice book.
