Read this for a book club. I made it through the book and was pleasantly surprised by one twist. Due to this, it deserves at least 2.5 stars. I debated on DNFing it because I didn’t enjoy the writing and felt it needed more editing. I didn’t feel attached to any of the characters. There was only a few moments where I felt a light suspense for a character. If I were to suggest a thriller/suspense story, this wouldn’t be the book.
