Engrossing, and I liked the main character and that she deals with both addiction and disability. Some parts about grief I found moving.

This was a very enjoyable read. I liked Sophie as a main character and the alternating chapters of past and present worked really well for the story. And the reveal had me shook. It also had me on the edge of my seat.
And YAY FOR A BISEXUAL MC.

I couldn't, and still can't believe, that this is a debut novel.

I thought this was a well-written, realistic and heart-wrenching story, with a mystery that I wasn't prepared for (I've discovered I'm crap at guessing whodunnits, and I was totally sucker-punched by the reveal in this book). There was quite a bit going on, some characters that I mildly disliked (sorry dead girl), and occasionally I struggled with the time-laspes between chapters. But overall, I really enjoyed this read, I love the cover (sob) and I'm looking forward to reading more from Sharpe.
