Het plot kwam naar mijn idee veel te vroeg in het boek waardoor de tweede helft veel te voorspelbaar was. Het plot was wel goed en Lisa heeft een fijne schrijfstijl waardoor het boek lekker weg las. Toch nog 3,5 sterren

Diễn biến tâm lý nhân vật không hay, đọc 2/3 quyển nghĩ cuốn này dc khoảng 3⭐️ nhưng vì cái kết mà cho 3.5⭐️. Yếu tố giá quan thứ 6 đưa vào rất thừa thãi, xong rồi Blue cũng chả được nhắc đến nữa. Mình khá thích nhân vật Hannah, nhưng tác giả chỉ tập trung vào bà mẹ và hung thủ

This book has a good twist toward the very end. Although the plot is definitely suspenseful and has you guessing throughout; I felt the story dragged in the middle a little. The ending became a too predictable (for me).

I’m honestly not completely sure what to say. This was a lot darker than I thought it would be, but I did enjoy it; to a point. The entire thing of Noelle kidnapping Ellie and the forcing her to have a baby didn’t sit right with me. Hardly any of this book did. The pure hatred I have for Noelle is unbelievable. In the end though, I’m glad Poppy’s with Laurel now. I genuinely believed that Ellie would make it. I cried at the end of this. Overall, I give it 4.5/5 stars, but I’d only recommend it to a certain audience.

I was conflicted whether to give this a 4 or 5! I read the book in two days and was easily intrigued by the plot. I found the storytelling from different characters' points of view to be effective. I did predict where the book was going but it was nonetheless dark and prompted me to continue reading. I was pleased with the ending and especially with Laurel's repaired relationship with her daughter Hanna, who I felt quite badly for throughout. I look forward to reading more from this author!
