This is such a great thriller. The way the author writes the stories and the characters is amazing, and the dialogue seemed believable rather than forced. As someone who reads a lot of thrillers, this book still kept me on the edge of my seat and every plot twist got me. Going in I noticed it seemed a little long and was worried it would drag or have uneccessary side plots, but this was never the case! The only reason I’m not giving it a full 5 stars is that it includes quite a few extremely graphic depictions of sexual violence that I feel could’ve been toned down or done without. If this is something you’re sensitive to, please consider that before reading this!
