This book is medium to slow paced. Two perspectives mix throughout the novel that confuse and intrigue the reader. I personally found it, at times, frustrating that I knew more about characters rather than finding out with them. The book picks up in the last 100 pages with an interesting twist, but I (as the reader) had figured everything out at the end.
Graphic: Murder, Self harm, and Stalking
Minor: Addiction, Domestic abuse, and Sexual assault
