I really enjoyed this. I hadn't read a thriller for a while that kept me guessing but this did it. I read this in one sitting and definitely felt like it ended too soon. 

The characters were great and I liked that we had POV from 3 different characters as well as chapters from a 3rd person narrator. Phoebe is super cute. 

The plot was interesting and kept me guessing. Each time I felt like I knew what was going on and had almost "solved" it, a new piece of information was added and I began questioning my judgements again. Ultimately, I guessed the big reveal but still really enjoyed the journey. 

The writing was clever and this was a great read to make you ask how much you really know the people around you.

Thank you to NetGalley and Avon Books for a copy of this in exchange for an honest review.
