I have no words to describe how amazing this book was. The events that unfolded starting from part 2 were completely unexpected. This book is definitely on my top 10 list.

<spolier> poor CeCe. Everyone else was an absolute bellend. He's abusive because he was abused? Piss off. What was the weird bigotry towards Enzo

The writing wasn't for me. Repetitive and overly descriptive of random objects. Everytime Millie picked up a phone I cringed.

This was a pretty solid thriller. I’d recommend this to anyone wanting to dip their toes into the genre. I guessed the overall twist but it was still a wild ride.
