Fast read, keeps interest. Kinda saw most of the twist which was bumming but still really good twists that still made it good and very rememberable, did not disappoint for one of the first books in the genre and would recommend to friends. Very mind boggling

I really enjoyed it. It was mysterious and intense. I loved how many medical references they did. All the characters in it were wonderful. It gave me major flashbacks to covid times.

This was an amazing mystery/thriller. I was hooked from the very beginning and was wondering what happened to Delilah, Shelby, and Meredith the entire time. I never saw it coming! I recommend to anyone who likes mysteries or thrillers!!

2.0

O plot twist é forçado e ruim, não tem aquela tensão construída para que haja uma revelação, ela só veio do nada, mudando completamente e desnecessariamente a personalidade de um personagem para que se encaixasse no plot twist. A história começa boa, mas o resto dela é muito forçada.
