Okay I could NOT put this book down! I really enjoyed reading this book but THE PLOT TWIST!? I had so many predictions and theories while I was reading this book but NONE of them were correct! I was absolutely mindf*cked at the ending😲🀯

This book had me hooked from the start because I was constantly intrigued by Alicia’s story. I absolutely loved how the story alternated between present day and Alicia’s diary! 

This book was very intriguing but the last 50 pages is what really fascinated me. The ending was absolutely brilliant and definitely wins the award on most shocking twist ever! πŸ€―πŸ“–

I do wish there was a second book! I want to know more on Kathy’s thoughts, I want to know what happens with Theo, I want to know more πŸ˜‚πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«πŸ€― 

All in all, I definitely recommend this book if you like psychological fiction! This one is definitely a must for y’all! πŸ“–πŸ’―
