This line, y'all: How can you find out that the person you love is a killer…and continue to love him anyway? This line is what made me decide I NEEDED to read this book, and I was so right. The story is one that jumps right in, there's no build to the action and I loved that. I was intrigued from the first moment and read this in just a couple sittings because I needed to know what happened.
The only thing I would change about the book is the tense it's written in - while not uncommon, it distracted me and made it tough sometimes to not think "shouldn't it be phrased like...", which obviously pulls you out of the flow of the story! Otherwise, I really enjoyed it. And the then/now style was great - I wanted to know their backstory but I also didn't want to step away from the present day action, so I found that style to really work. Like others have mentioned, they're short sections, but I liked getting to see things from the his and her perspective.
3.5 stars
