So at first it was a little difficult to get used to the writing style. However, once I got into the plot of the book, I couldn’t put the book down. The plottwist at the end wasn't completely unexpected, but it still came unexpectedly and shocked me. It's a beautiful story that shows what a dramatic event can do to a person and really gets you emotionally. It also shows how the world of wealthy people who are seemingly so perfect also has flaws!!
