I related to Orla's thoughts as a mother 100%, but otherwise it was just okay, and I felt like the mystery of it all was being pulled in too many directions. Also the final paragraphs felt so unnecessary.

Every once in a while, I need to read a crappy, plot-hole filled thriller to relax my mind from my current reads. I’m even more intrigued if it’s been made into a movie, because I also love a bad movie (and this one has been)! This is by no means the best thing I’ve ever read, and it isn’t the worst thriller either. It was a fun, quick read (took me about 2 hours). It was predictable and not fleshed out, and I loved it. That’s exactly what I needed. But it sure wasn’t great.

Have not read a book with such a great plot twist ending in a while!

While there are some grammatical errors along with one or two continuity mistakes, it was a very good book! The story picked up quickly and the twists always had me not wanting to put the book down. Excited for the movie on Netflix to come out. Definitely recommend!

After I started reading this, it sounded familiar and then I remember that I watched the show on Netflix. I still read it since I couldn’t remember who did it. Then towards the end I remembered, but it was still kept my interest.
