A bit slow at the beginning but it picks up the pace after the middle and it's just a rollercoaster. I loved the twist and
Andrew getting what he deserved was very satisfying. After what he did to poor Nina... It was super gruesome I hated it so much. I wonder why Nina felt the need to say that Millie was in the prison I don't think it made sense since she wanted Andrew to like her but her saying that could've ruined it, it felt very risky to me. I wish we could've seen some bonding between Cece and Millie too but I understand why Cece is wary of adults after that crazy man. Also I don't understand why Nina wanted to go to prison after dealing with that man for so long in order to not go to prison. I don't think it made much sense
overall I really enjoyed this book. Although some things didn't make much sense it was very intriguing and the twist was done well.
