" ...that our memories are forever evolving, so we only remember the version of the memory we last recalled rather than the original event "

What a wild ride... so so many trigger warnings! 
My first Claire Douglas book, and will surely be not the last! 
This by far has one of the unique & twisted plots I have read. I may not be surprised by the ending twist as I have already guessed & predicted it, but even so.. It was still undeniably so good! 
Loooved how it was told in multiple POV's with short chapters between past & present.

Though this was a slow paced story, it was so well written and gripping that it'll keep you interested. Storyline was so suspenseful, clever and  just one of a kind!
