I listened to the audio for this book in one day, it was so enthralling. My brain had turned to mush by the end of it, but it was worth it. I loved everything about this book: the pace, the characters, the twists. Five stars from me and definitely another great book by Lucinda Berry. If you’re looking for something with rich people drama and a bunch of plot twists, pick this one up.

The twists and turns in this story are unreal .... As soon as you think you know something.... Think again.

There are a lot of characters, and I struggled to keep them straight. I mainly just kept the storylines in mind, and didn’t really pay attention to the names. Are all friend groups full of this many secrets? Are my friends lying to me about every day things?

As always, I hated the characters. Like, none of them would have been my friends in real life. That’s the annoying thing with a lot of thrillers that I read: I don’t like the characters. They’re all bad. Anyway, for the story part, it was great, as always. And the twistS at the end??? I felt like I was being attacked by them! Falling out of the sky they were! So, liked reading the book, but the fact that the characters weren’t lovable didn’t help.
