I thought this was a great thriller, and the ending was really cool. The characters were also really flawed and realistic, I enjoyed how they all fit in with each other. The best part was how the author used the idea of inaccurate memories (even gaslighting to an extent) throughout the book. Kind of slow-paced, but definitely recommend.
