2.0

Here's the thing: I love thrillers, normally  psychological, and legal thrillers. While this one hooked me from page one, once it gets a few chapters in, the story gets lost and muddled with the past.  Then it starts picking up again, and everything from the past ties into the present, it makes sense, but I feel like it could have been executed better.
I found it very predictable, so it didn't make me guess much, but it was a decent book all in all.
