I will definitely be reading more books from this author. I didn't want to put this one down and definitely didn't see the ending coming. I like to be hanging on for the next development and fully surprised by outcomes. This was a great read!

moral of the story: dont drink and drive kids 👍

 

at 70% I  knew how the last 30% was going to go which is not how I like it. I like when the last 30% is so full of twists you cant sit straight. however, saying that, throughout the book my face did fall open in shock :O when things were getting intense.

some people have said they didn't like the writing style but i feel like it gave us an almost 360 view without the book dragging on.

3.5 ⭐️ The book is written from multiple points of view and jumps back and forth through time but it was written well enough that I never felt confused.

I was really hooked by the storyline and didn’t see the plot twists coming, but the big reveal at the end was a little too unbelievable for me.

So overall I enjoyed reading this book but was slightly disappointed at the ending.

Took my time through the first half, and read the second half in one sitting! The change in timeline and POV took some adjustment. I liked a lot of the twists, but there were some plot holes I couldn't get past. The ending left me totally bewildered! I don't usually read this genre for the same reason I avoid crime dramas; I'm sensitive to certain content. However, I appreciated how the story was told without much graphic detail.

This book was wild to say the least. The first two chapters start off incredibly dark and disturbing and the book ends in the same way. I spent a lot of time throughout this book trying to figure out how everything was connected. Time jump plot twists are always my favorite because I can never see them coming and I always find them incredibly shocking.
