I was unable to put the book down from the first page and was eating it up till I reached 70-80% and then the ending just ruined it for me. Basically the first three parts are too good and part 4 just got worse and worse. The ending didn't make much sense to me. Like it didn't give me any satisfaction that now the main two characters are free from poverty and husband and other bad shit they were caught up in. 
If I talk about the first three parts of the book, I ABSOLUTELY LOVED this book. I was going to give it 4.5 stars. It was soooo thrilling. So twisted. A perfect psychological thriller. You have no idea if Lee is being betrayed by Hazel, if Hazel actually has an abusive husband or she's lying. I loved the back stories of the characters that led them to the horrible situation they are in in the present.
