It took a moment to get into and keep all the characters straight, but I ended up enjoying this book and coming up with my own predictions. The interruptions of journal entries and texts and transcripts threw me off and I didn’t find that they added much to the storyline. I enjoyed that there were multiple suspects or scenarios as to what could have happened, and that the ending was unexpected, although slightly anticlimactic. Some pieces were predictable in a purposeful way while others were just good twists.
