While this is classed as a thriller, it doesn’t feel super tense until closer to the end. The first half of the book is a slow start, but by halfway I was hooked. I appreciate the theme of putting victims of murder back into the spotlight rather than glorifying the killers. I enjoyed the mixed media throughout the book and the flashbacks to the college scenes with the trio of best friends. I found this to be a really sad story, especially with all the secrets between Abby and Chelsea. I thought the ending wrapped up nicely and I wasn’t left with a bunch of unanswered questions.
