This book was very…meh. It felt like it was building up to something, but the ending. didn’t do much for me. I figured it would take a while to build up like most thrillers, but there ended up being no real pay-off. I also don’t understand why Eden lied and said she remembered Larry in the first place. I guess just because of how she is with her rebellious demeanor? I found that to be somewhat surface level and disappointed there was no deeper reason or meaning derived from that. There was no true character development either; Eden ends up being the same as she always has been, and Hope I guess decides in the last few pages to move on from her past. I couldn’t connect with either of the characters so neither of their fates impacted me. Giving 2 stars only because the chapters about the girls’ abduction were gripping.
