While this isn't the type of book I usually read, I was pleasantly entertained by it. The last 50 pages was a roller coaster ride. Wouldn't reread this book, but I would def recommend it. A fast paced thriller by an unreliable narrative that keeps you guessing how it will end up until the very last page.
