I'll never be ready to talk about this book. If you're looking for a fast-paced, thrilling story, this is the one. I'm not usually an avid reader of the psychological thriller genre, but this did it for me. I need more books like this one. This is not a mystery, per se. I could predict every twist and turn since the beginning of the book. This is the definition of a thriller! I couldn't stop reading, I just flew through this book in a matter of days. I had a knot in my stomach, my hands were sweating, and my heartbeat raised with every chapter.
If you're having doubts about reading this book, I suggest you give it a try. I was hooked since page one, and I needed to finish!
If you like diary entries or jump in time to a specific time, I'd recommend reading this book. I don't think I've read a more thrilling book ever (but I don't usually read thrillers, so take this with a grain of salt).
Again, it's quite predictable from the beginning, so if you're looking for a book that will blow your mind with a big twist at the end, maybe this one isn't the one.
