I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I don't even know what to think at this point... I have sooo many unanswered questions. This book was so good, especially if you enjoy true crime and mysteries, it had me on the edge of my seat.

My partner and I were obsessively reading this book together and finished it in a few hours. Loved the story, but the last 20% was difficult. The author just starts throwing information at you, and with so many characters involved in the story, it’s very difficult to keep everything straight when the big reveal comes. But overall, super unique and an enjoyable mystery!
