I was not prepared for how shocking the twists in this book were! Just when you think you know what is happening, something happens and you are left sitting in utter shock and HAVE to keep reading to make sense of the emotional roller coaster you have found yourself on. Highly recommend for anyone that loves a book that you need some time to process once you are done!

Fun twists but it was easy for me to predict most of where the plot was going.

3/5 stars - wouldn't recommend, although I did enjoy the read. Maybe I say this because every other book I read has a similar plot to this one.

This book was like the show you but for a whole different reason! Kelly (number 1) was delusional and I think mentally depressed but Kelly (number 2) was just plain crazy. Part 1 had me ready to call the lady on the older Kelly but part 2 made me want to call the police on her lol! That plot twist was crazy and I liked the format of the book. Her husband was trash and that ending… good for her lol
