Another mystery that was told from the perspective of multiple characters throughout, which I enjoyed. Even when you thought I had it figured out, a new twist happened that kept me wanting to read more. Unlike the previous book I read by her, the ending of this wasn't rushed, and closed off with one last plot twist. Really enjoyed this one!

A random book I got because of the cover colours (mine's blue).

Sad it's utterly realistic, way too stupid decisions due to pressure and high expectations from others.
if one doesn't have enough experience about mental problems, the message would seem stupid.
However despite the unforgivable it's more than that. I wish it was less expected and "people are capable of almost anything" that was a great spoiler but I did like that things changed after the half of the book.



I'm really sad for Anne. Too much. He doesn't deserve her at all.
