 This book was an absolutely insane, wild ride. The book takes place with a dual timeline and multiple POVs. There were five different POVs and I loved every single one of them. They added so much depth to the story and gave each character more rounded personalities vs. flat. 

 

I thought the overall execution of the timeline and POVs was incredibly well done. It helped tell a timeline of how the past was impacting the present day and lead to so many plot twists I never saw coming as a result. The entire book my own mind was racing with conclusions and twists I was expecting and none of them were right until right before the reveal. 

 

Overall, I really liked this one. I listed via audiobook and the cast was great too.
