I would have given this 4 stars, but I felt the ending was weirdly rushed. There is so much minutia in each of the characters' pov which is a bit abandoned right at the end. For instance why don't we get Tallulah's reaction to being reunited with her mom and Noah? I think part of my dissatisfaction is that I found Sophie to be the least interesting POV character and we ended with her.
That said, the mystery was great and had me guessing up until the end. I was instantly hooked and invested in the interiority of the characters. Despite my thoughts on the ending, I would very much recommend this thriller.
