oh my gosh! i’m not typically a thriller reader but i really struggled to put this down! the plot is so fast-paced and by the end of it, i’m honestly not sure what is true and what isn’t! thoroughly enjoyed (even if sometimes i was in out-right shock)

Many twists and turns take you through a book that feels like a True Crime documentary, while the story is happening. Interesting way to write this gripping story.

4.5/5⭐️



It was really good, but I wouldn’t recommend it, at least not without a full list of trigger warnings😅

The audiobook though 👏🏻so good👏🏻 one of the best audiobooks I’ve ever listened to! The voice actors gave it there all and really sold me the story, so much so that it felt real

The fact that the ending left me all confused at what was actually true is why i gave a 4.5 stars rating. I'll probably think about this book for days ahead
