Twisty and intriguing. I suspected some of the endings but couldn't wait to find out how everyone's story concluded. It was a unique story.

Riveting, wild ride full of twists and turns! Marrs explores the human condition and relationships through a multitude of characters. It’s surprising how much you can feel for each character when they only appear for a couple pages at a time and it’s a testament to Marrs’ talent! Each character is flawed and experiences growth and setbacks through each twist and turn of the rollercoaster of relationships they partake in. Can’t wait to discuss and dissect character choices with my book club!

I didn't really find any of the story lines or characters particularly loveable. Christopher's story line was the hardest for me to get into. Even at the end, I just kind of shrugged his plot line off. Mandy's was the other story line that made me uncomfy just with how self deprecating and gullible she is as a character. I don't know, I just didn't find any of the characters relatable. 

I liked the ending though. Especially, the inference the readers have to make about what the ending truly was.

I loved listening to this on Libby and found it to be hard to stop - this is the kind of story that keeps you up all night. I enjoy the subtle foreshadowing and clues throughout and enjoyed that this followed several people throughout their journey - each of which had enough plot to be its own novel, if I’m honest!
