This book was not good from the start and i really had to drag myself through, but nevertheless I was intrigued by the little flashbacks and the notion that Kelly was hallucinating everything. Overall, I didn't find a single character likeable and the twists were not super surprising. I don't regret reading it at all, but I think it'd make a better movie than book.

I was sucked into the story from the very start. I went into the book blind, as I do with most of my books. I really felt like I was there. The author did an incredible job! I was on the edge of my seat and reading it very fast! I was trying to guess from the start what was going on. I can’t wait to read more from Amber Garza!

Well this was real fun and fast, which was exactly what I was after. I was expecting this to be somewhat generic but it pleasantly surprised me, something about it just worked very well for me
