I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I wasn't sure what to expect going into this book as the synopsis on the back of my copy is super short but that turned out great because it was fun to go in blind. 

I wouldn't describe this book as a thriller. Definitely more of a mystery, literally suspense novel. It was twisty and the dual POVs were nice because both POVs were interesting, I wasn't waiting to get back to one character. I enjoyed the twists in this book and the fact that the characters were morally grey. 

I didn't get the "5 star feeling" reading this book but it was still great! I did think the ending felt a bit rushed compared to the pacing of the rest of the book. I also liked that any questions I had at the end were answered and tied up. I would recommend this book for sure!
