5.0

I devoured the book. It was incredible. It consisted of short, exciting chapters that made you want to keep reading. The story takes place in several places at the same time, so some chapters are written from a different perspective than others. In addition, there is an important story in the past which is also told in several chapters. Normally it bothers me when so much happens at the same time in a book and there is a jump in time, but in this book by Lisa Jewell it didn't bother me at all. The book is very mysterious from the beginning and I couldn't stop reading.
