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.

4.5 stars, couldn't put it down.  Everyone was a suspect and the final reveal didn't disappoint.  I liked Marin's character and even though some of her actions were questionable, you can understand how she got there.

The beginning of this book right from the first chapter was just awesome. I loved the ride and felt my heart pounding for the characters. I wanted to know what had happened, how it had happened, what was going to happen... it was heartstopping. If I had stopped at the 75% mark this could have been a 5 star. However, the book continued and the layers of unbelievable and far-fetched, and flung-together really took over for me. It was definitely dark and twisty, but not in a way I apprecaited.

I thought this was very slow and I honestly didn’t care. The first chapter was really good but then it got boring for like 60% because I did not care about this man cheating. Also I was just thinking about it and thinking of theories and I was right I don’t know how I guessed it but I did so I’m kind of like upset me because I actually really like that person. I do think you would like this if you like to see characters and how situations can affect them and the things they might do.
