i loved the twists in this book i hate when i can guess but a few of them really caught me by surprise. the characters felt fleshed out and human and the emotion and writing was brill. didn’t feel very tense apart from towards the end but that’s really the only thing.

4.5

This is more than just a 4.5 star review! The read was dark, mysterious, emotional, and thrilling- however there were many points where the story was very predictable (hence the 4.5 not 5) as in I knew what the next plot twist was going to be.  Regardless, it is one of the most interesting stories I’ve read in a while and very much enjoyed how fast paced and easily digestible the content was.  Poppy is my favorite character of them all and I enjoyed the multiple viewpoints from the various characters.

i feel conflicted about this book. so to wrap it up , if your the type to make theories when reading, this is for you. but if your disappointed when all of your theories are met with nothing more, then it’s not. mediocre book, had potential to be way darker and twisted.

I didn’t read the back when I started this and I should have because boy was that a heavy novel, definitely should not have been reading it at 14 but whatever. Very heavy, very true crime, honestly felt like a real case.

I flew through this, it was impossible to put down. I saw too much hype around it though, and I guessed the major twist, so it lost a star due to that.

A great thriller with excellent characters. Highly entertaining, and I recommend it if you like the genre.
