The book bounces between two characters, Tricia and Adrienne. It seemed like a medium-fast paced book. It wasn’t my favorite, but it wasn’t terrible either. I enjoyed the plot twist

Interesting plot and some really nice twists in the end. I think the ending was trying a bit too hard, but all in all, a good book.

If you like Alice Feeney’s books, you’ll love this author! This particular novel reminds me of Rock, Paper, Scissors!

Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Writing: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Plot: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Characters: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Praise: I spent the majority of this book thinking I knew where it was going but I was wrong…that’s exactly what I want from my psychological thrillers! I also loved that the chapters were short, it kept me glued to the page saying “just one more chapter, it’s short so it won’t take long!”

The Critique: I would’ve liked more tape chapters.

Final Thoughts: The book was so twisty and eerie and I really enjoyed it.
