This was absolutely wonderful. The story was so captivating I finished the book in two sittings (due to the necessity of sleep). I kind of felt the plot twist coming, but still enjoyed every single page of this immaculately written book. The author managed to add small details of thoughts and deeds that made it feel so human and real and created a deep understanding for the character(s) and their motives. The switch of perspective towards the end made it all the more captivating. The story itself makes you stop and question morals and the very concept of what is ethical. I thoroughly enjoyed this one.
