I found this book to be thoroughly entertaining. I enjoyed they revealed the twist mid-way through the book so you could get every detail unfolded in the second half. It was utterly predictable however.

Really, really enjoyed this book. It was hard to put down, but I also kept stopping to write my thoughts and theories so I could look back on them and see if I was on the right track. I LOVE that the story was well concluded and the loose ends were all tied. AND IT ALL MADE SENSE! There were lots of surprises and scenes that made me gasp out loud without a lazy explanation (read: “it was mental illness” or “it was all a dream” or “it was all a coincidence”). Great story, great execution, great epilogue!

dark mysterious sad

Wow. I feel just awful sadness and horror after reading this book. It was horrific. I wasn’t aware of all the triggers going into this book, so reader beware. It was so heavy and dark, that’s all I can think about. Please check triggers before reading, I wish I did.
