Okay, this book…What a wild ride.
This book had my heart pounding the entire time and I couldn’t get enough.
Aidan is a classic sociopath.
“Rachel” was strong and resilient. I can’t even imagine having to make the choices she did, but man there were moments I was yelling at the book too.
Cecilia I’m still trying to figure out and have some more questions about her
And Emily, while I liked her at first, she quickly became one of my least favourite.
I loved the quick chapters that just kept the book flowing. There were so many times during the discussion chat that it was mentioned how hard it was to put the book down!
I was sure this was THE thriller to beat for me, but the ending, while good, didn’t quite do it for me. I was left wanting more. I have so many questions still, and could have used a few more chapters to close some things eluded to several times.
All in all, this was an excellent psychological thriller and a fantastic English language debut by Clemence Michallon and I look forward to picking up whatever she writes next!!
Thank you Tandem Collective Global for including me in this readalong and Penguin Random Canada for a gifted copy of the book!
