This book is captivating, dark, and twisted. It made me feel much of what I felt reading Verity by CoHo. The proximity of when I read Verity might’ve spoiled the novelty of this kind of story for me. However, I found the format to be creative, bouncing between narratives—past and future, the various “witnesses.” I also enjoyed the suspense of not knowing which narrative, if any, is reliable.
