4.0

I needed a good thriller and this definitely satisfied that! I really enjoyed the twist of the book, right when I was rolling my eyes thinking I figured out the ending, it got switched on me, which kept me on my toes. 

Definitely lots of content warnings for this book, so that’s something to be aware of.
