I was a little cautious about this one at first because I was unsure if I was ready to read about the pandemic. This book pleasantly surprised me though!
I found the parts relating to the pandemic relatable. I found them comforting rather than uncomfortable. It made me see how far we have come with the pandemic as it was like looking back in history to two years ago.
Both stories were enticing. One story being played out was what happened before the "death". The second was what happened after. I enjoyed that it also jumped around playing from both Ciara's and Oliver's POV of their relationship. It was interesting to see how one thing played out but was view entirely differently from each other.
This one also had me guessing until the end! There was twists that I didn't see coming, which is always exciting! Once I thought I had it figured out, I realized that I was completely wrong.
This is definitely a thriller I would recommend to any thriller lover!
