I thought I had this all figured out by a third of the way through it and fancied myself the smartest person alive... only to turn out to be almost entirely wrong. I'm holding on to the tiny shred of dignity I have left because I was kind of in the ballpark. This author hasn't disappointed me yet, and while her books aren't necessarily rampant with realism, I enjoy the hell out of them and always look forward to starting a new one!

This book is full of twists and turns, one’s that make you say, “HOW DID I NOT SEE THIS COMING” then another, “omg DUH!” and then a “holy shit!” That’s the only way I can describe this book without giving away spoilers. If you’re on the fence about reading it, just do it. If you love glimpses into psychology and how the brain works, you’ll find yourself highlighting sentences like you’re in PSYCH101.

This was a good one! I thought it was kind of slow but had so many smaller plots within the big plot that it kept my interested. Oh my goodness the ending was something I never saw coming! I kept trying to figure out the twist but never imagined what actually happened, even though after I found out, it seemed obvious! It was a very sinister ending…
