Was I on the edge of my seat for some of this? Yes. 
Was it good? No. 
Was there unnecessary and detailed medical trauma sprinkled in that in no way contributed to the story? Yes. 
Would I recommend this? No.

I really enjoyed this book! This thriller kept me engaged and guessing throughout. If I had one complaint I would say that the shifting perspectives and timelines could get a little confusing at times, along with the large cast of characters, but I do think that all of those things made sense within the story and everything did wrap up cleanly at the end. Some bits at the end were a little unrealistic, but that doesn’t bother me too much since I did enjoy this read.
