GO READ THIS BOOK. it's a page turner and you won't be able to put it down. the short chapters are a blessing and each page left me wanting more. the story came full circle at the end in the most perfect way with the most perfect plot twist (one that i never saw coming). my jaw dropped when i realized how intertwined Theo's story was with Alicia's. i loved reading the parts in the book with Alicia's journla entries (mostly because it reminded me of gone girl and i love that book). both the actual plot and the sub plot had me on edge. this really is the perfect thriller.
