This was an insane read. The fact that we never find out what happened to Sam as well as what actually happens in Nantucket is just insane. I really enjoyed it though lol. Lucia has such a hard time, and I honestly don't know what I would have done in her place. I really like how it ended, and I totally agree with what she did at the very end, but I also don't think she did what was right with everything. To be thrown into a new location just because her mom met someone would have been so hard, I think her mom doesn't give her enough credit for going with the flow or helping hide certain traits her mom does not have from said boyfriend. This was such an interesting read that kept you wondering who committed the crimes until they are revealed. I can say I did not expect the reveals of who did what. Honestly a good book that is suspenseful and mysterious.
