4.5

Was similar to a book I had just finished, The Passenger, in premise, but I had heard lots of great reviews, so I kept going. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and characters and the twists throughout. I typically can't stand the back and forth with a timeline, but the way the author laid it out and told the story, the back and forth didn't take away from the plot and it was relatively easy to keep all the information straight. I loved the huge twist at the end and how thr author still wrapped things up after what could have been the ending. I would love an epilogue to see how Evie is doing today.
Only complaint is I would have liked some more information on Mr. Smith and the organization in general, and maybe thr relationship between Ryan and Mr. Smith.
