this book was fantastically written; kept me on the edge of my seat throughout its duration, but left something to be desired with the ending. it was lackluster and docked a star from the rating. had very good potential, but it still one i’ll definitely recommend. draws you in and holds your attention well. a really good binge book

This was a great read. I didn't expect that ending at all. I do wish we got to see how the trial played out rather than just the opening statement and then waiting for the verdict.

Everyone acting irrationally, a truly idiotic male lead, everyone has sex with everyone, police brutality and blatant corruption, nothing noble about this book at all

Police procedures weren't accurate, but this is a novel... Nothing has to be spot on. I found it to be entertaining and couldn't put it down.

sophiast96's review

I just could not find it in me to finish the book. Every single character was unlikeable.  
The book wanted to do a Gone Girl plot twist so bad but where Gone Girl was carefully crafted so it all makes sense in hindsight this book just doesn’t make any sense. 
I generally like POV structures but here it was the wrong choice for the endpoint the author wanted to reach, it’s just not logical.
