This book started so well and the idea was well-done. I could see that we were headed somewhere twisty and then I got surprised by a twist I should have but didn't see coming. By 70% I was so excited by the rest of the book but honestly wish I'd just stopped there. It's almost as if the author dropped the plot and then had a deadline to get to. Which was disappointing. I also could have done without the last chapter. But the vibes were immaculate to 70%.

I kind of have mixed feelings on this book. I loved the main plot twist of the book but I knew why it had happened straight away so when the next twist came I wasn’t surprised. The blurb led us into a false sense of the story and I really liked that. I am so glad that Kate and Jake got a happy ending and Marisa got better and accomplished her dreams. However, I found characters infuriating at a lot of times which was annoying. There would be a twist in the book and then a long flashback to drag out the tension, which I hated. The flashbacks did provide context but I felt they were long winded and not interesting. The book did drag at some points and was predictable but it had a great twist, which was written very well.
