This was a thoroughly engaging thriller that touched on ridiculous a few times but not so much that it made me roll my eyes... too much. Instead, I had a great time reading it. I very much liked the story told from different perspectives.

Textbook good writing. I have to give this one the full five stars and a top place at my list of favourite books. Highly addictive and well written.

It may be strong for some people, especially parents, but it is worth it

I'm giving the book five stars because of how it was written, how it kept me on the edge of my seat and awake all night, reading on and on just to find what happened next. I'm not giving it five stars because I liked the characters—

they were toxic and stressful, and I cannot imagine living life the way they do. Then again, desperation drives you to do insane things...not that that's supposed to be an excuse.
