This book was a complete whirlwind. I haven't read a traditional mystery novel in a long time and wow this really blew my expectations out of the water. So well written, so interesting, fast paced, tense, literally had me clenching my jaw in anticipation of what Josie Fair was going to say or do next!
The only reason I'm not giving a full 5 stars is because some of the messaging at the end lost me a bit.
*MINOR SPOILER ALERT*
I didn't appreciate that it seemed like the men in this story got a bit of a redemption that I don't think they necessarily deserved. What the men in this book did should be be forgiven or forgotten. And it's not olay to victim blame a 15 year old girl for "manipulating" a 42 year old man. Very weird and for that I can't give 5 stars.
Other than that, phenomenonal! I've never read Lisa Jewel before but I certainly will now!
