Wow. This was such a fantastic read! Very emotional and challenging at times. I feel like I would have liked to know more about Kiser’s back story.

I didn’t put the pieces together about Geo’s son until right when Kiser & Kim were. I will say, I didn’t really like that Kiser and Geo end up together. Maybe it’s petty of me, but I didn’t think Geo deserved a truly happy ending. She didn’t deserve a horrible one, but idk, just felt wrong.

PLEASE read the trigger warnings before you start this book and be aware if you have any of them. I didn’t and had to put it down a couple times to process the

Wow, I don't know what I expected but this was DARK. The plot is incredibly compelling and this was a total pageturner, I had to keep reading to see what new facts would surface next! I did find Geo to be a tad naive and, frankly, dumb in the last 50 or so pages which was a bit frustrating given that it didn't feel like it fit with the rest of her character, so that dropped it down a star for me. Otherwise, a very engaging and well written thriller that's every bit as good as the hype around it. A rare feat!

Completely f***ed up, but I couldn’t put it down.  Check the TW before picking it up.
