Without giving too much away, some women will do anything to keep a man but find one who actually likes them. 🤦🏽‍♀️

This was a great read a true thriller, but now im just very sad. I want to scream at the main character DON’T GO THERE, PLEASE TALK TO YOUR PARENTS! But me feeling so deeply for these characters just shows how good the writer was in making them feel extremely real. Imma need a few days after this book. 😞😞

Most of the book i was wanting to know who done it. 

I didn't accept what the police said happened. It didn't make sense .

My mom and I pinned who did it early on. 

Overall I will say the book kept me glued in to see what happened. 
After it was revealed what happened to Ellie, I was felt a bit "meh" about the recap.
