Have had trouble finding a book with a good plot and good writing, but I really enjoyed this one. The twists were good and had me questioning the truth quite often. Admittedly, I’m not super attached to the characters, but I did want to keep reading and I liked them enough. The writing style is exactly how I like it: third person, not choppy dialogue, and a good mix of internal thoughts and scene description. Very excited to read the next two books!
