Let's start at the beginning. The start of the book was intriguing and very easy to read. There was tension throughout the book. We get to see glimpses of Alice's diary from before the accident where we discovered what she was like before everything and what connection she had to the individual people. From the second half of the book, everything just passes in a blur. So much is happening in a fast pace and I'm irritated, because I liked the tension and slow pace better. The ending was shocking, but there are still so many holes in this story and questions left unanswered
