Liked the book overall,

the plot twist was good and the fact that the narrator was unreliable was really fun for me

Read the last 100 pages in a day 'cause I couldn't put the book down. Some things were kinda rushed imo,

I would've loved a confrontation with Kathy and Gabriel

Perfect for getting out of a rut! 
Wish it was longer since there were some things unanswered. But so good! Could not predict the end at all.

I often figure out plot twists early on and can put together murder mystery patterns pretty well, but I honestly didn’t expect this one! Definitely a page turner.

omg when i tell you the ending of this book literally shocked me like wow the author knows how to write some twists and turns! after finishing the story i’m still unsure about how trustworthy theo’s reasoning is, and the lack of chronological order really added to the jumbled mess that he created oh wow

This was riveting! Very well written, had me guessing multiple times, and has a very good ending. This was hard to put down!
