You know when Abby Lee Miller is making the pyramid in dance moms and says “you didn’t stick out to me” about one of the girls at the bottom? That’s how I felt about this book. Did it keep me entertained? Yes. Was the story creative? Eh, kinda… This book just wasn’t very memorable and didn’t tie enough loose ends to make it enjoyable. It’s not that it was a cliffhanger, it just ended abruptly and I had so many questions remaining. There’s better mystery/thrillers to spend your time reading in my opinion. This one was just OK.
