What a wild ride! Chapters 20 until the end was just fast pace endless drama. Oliver, oh Oliver…he was terrible and unbearable to read in the end. Everything was written in this book with intention and led to a suspenseful wild ending. I did feel like the last 2 chapters were rushed and was maybe written differently than the rest of the book.
