I really enjoyed this book! It was inventive and interesting--I had a hard time putting it down. I find it hard to be surprised by plot twists because I read so often, but Winters got me with not one but two plot twists, much to my delight. The character development was excellent and I enjoyed the way she shifted the narrative to give us different insights in the story. Even the side characters felt nuanced to me. 

The one downside to this is some grammar issues I couldn't ignore. Notably, Winters often uses "which" when she should use "that."

I didn’t know how many pages the book had, when I started reading. Halfway through I discovered that I’ve already read 350 pages. 
I really liked the writing style and the pace, even though it seemed a bit to slow in the first half (would describe the pace in the first half as medium)
All in all it was a good read. The plot twist were kinda predictable but not badly made.
