I was pulled in right away as always from Lapena. I read almost all of it in one day!

Multiple POVs told in 3rd person, but there wasn’t a lot of character development-compared to some of her other novels, we really don’t get to know the characters that well, which I would’ve liked. I think we could’ve had more depth if there were fewer characters to look at.

I predicted some plot twists very early on, especially the big twist, but a couple others were a surprise. So that was kind of a let down and why I didn’t rate it 5 stars. Ending was slightly rushed as it quickly tied up most of the story but left one piece open. The “cliffhanger” worked well in my opinion though.

Overall a fast paced story that held my attention and helped me finally read again after being sick, but not my favorite from Lapena.
