I was entertained but I didn't love it. I thought the way the past memories were overlaid with the current moments were really well done and I could perfectly envision it as a movie or TV show. But being stuck inside of Chloe's brain for this entire book was TOUGH. There were just a few too many spirals for my liking, especially for someone who studied psychology smh. I also didn't really love the twist, half of it was easy to guess and the other half was so out of left field it almost felt like a let down. There were also too many convenient moments that were clearly just plot devices and some holes mixed in that just didn't lay well with how things ended. I still give it a 3 as it was pretty gripping and hard to put down.
