Another that kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Finished the book within 8hrs. I NEEDED to know what happened next after each chapter. Google told me they plan to adapt the book into a show series on Peacock. Can’t wait to see how they compare and would hope it stays true to the book as much as possible.

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.

I had a very hard time getting into this book at first but I ended up slowly beginning to enjoy it. I couldn't stand any of the characters but the plot/mystery was intriguing and I didn't see most of the twists coming.

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.
