This book was meant to be an audio book! It was so well formatted for it! I was hanging on to every word the narrators read and it was such an intense story. Absolutely loved it!!

I was really excited for this book. I definitely hyped it up more in my head so I ended up being a little let down. 

Overall, it was twisty and weird. I loved the concept of the plot but wasn’t 100% thrilled with the execution. 

I would have loved to seen more with Josie’s family. Some truth. 

I think what I don’t like about this book is the unreliable characters & how you don’t actually know what’s completely true.
