If you're having doubts about reading this book, I suggest you give it a try. I was hooked since page one, and I needed to finish!
If you like diary entries or jump in time to a specific time, I'd recommend reading this book. I don't think I've read a more thrilling book ever (but I don't usually read thrillers, so take this with a grain of salt).
Again, it's quite predictable from the beginning, so if you're looking for a book that will blow your mind with a big twist at the end, maybe this one isn't the one.

However, I did really like the book and particularly towards the end I was hooked to see what was going to happen. This has definitely sparked a curiosity within me to start reading the other S. J. Watson works!

Half of this book, we're reading the main character's journal, but it's not written in journal style, more in the novel style. Which is a bit weird since she has to write it in secret and she basically didn't have a lot of time to barely write before she sleeps and forget everything all over again, yet she wrote in novel style. I am used to writing journal entries for hours and I don't think I can do that lol. I understand why the author decides to do this, though, because if we readers read a journal version of it, we wouldn't grasp the entire situation
