I don’t remember the last time I read a book this fast, but I couldn’t bear not knowing what was going to happen next! The tension & pacing of the plot were so well done, and it kept me guessing  until the very end. It was such an insane & twisty story, but I wish the ending was a bit more resolved. Overall, a great creepy, mysterious thriller!

This book was pretty full of twists and turns, so many honestly. I was not expecting this read to be so controversial and saw the protagonist as a victim at the start but some things are revealed along the line. It was definitely a book that kept me on my toes. If you are into thrillers, this is the book for you. There was a lot of mystery that comes to a reveal toward the end. And you get a sort of full satisfaction of what you read throughout the book. The main character is VERY controversial and a compulsive liar who seems like she is addicted to lying but you don't know it until it's too late. The content is not extremely graphic but there is some blood mentioned and a dead body.
