This was just an okay thriller. It's a book that I'd recommend to people that have never read one and want something light.

In the beginning, I was very bored. The story was slow. It took me a while to get used to the character's different POVs. I personally think the twist was decent. Nothing too crazy. It was plausible.
I think we can all agree that the person that was going to die was going to be Will. I thought that was obvious, but I personally liked how Will connected to all of them better and how much of a terrible person he was. I sorta felt bad for Johnno. I didn't think he deserved to go down for Will's death.
