4.0

This book was crambed with lots of twists and turns which was great, though at time really quite far fetched which detracted a little from the enjoyment. I was left wanting more at the end of each chapter and found I was building lots of theories as I read. The characters were written in a way I found my feelings about them constantly changing.

I did like the end where you still didn't know which version of Verity was true ie the autobiogrpahy one or the letter one. Especially coupled with seeing the darker side of Jeremy. This was further emphasised when I read the bonus end chapter.
