Didn't know I was supposed to be guessing who did it until more than halfway through. All the twists and turns I didn't know who to pin it on! It wasn't a bad read I just wasn't sure what to expect. This is my first read by this author.

Overall, I liked the premise and plot. I was really into the last 150 pages, and really confused for the prior 200. Some of the POVs and story lines I thought were a bit clunky and just made a bit of a mess. All this to say I did binge this book and the plot twists were intense! I just wish it was a little cleaner structurally.

Wow. This book was so good! I spent the whole thing trying to figure out and never did! I loved all the characters. They were so well fleshed out and created. It was just so well done! It was my first book by this author and I can call it now. I will be reading all of her catalog! It's not often a thriller/suspense book makes me cry, but that happened here. All the stars!!

It was fine! Pretty average thriller, good story although I guessed part of the twist pretty early on. There was a part where the explanation made no sense which was annoying. But overall it was engaging and a fun read!
