FOUR OUT OF FIVE STARS!!!! 8.43 CAWPILE
Wow this was an amazing read. I’m so happy that this book was recommended to me because I probably wouldn’t have picked it up on my own.
Karin Slaughter is a master with words and keeps the story flowing where you feel like you can’t read fast enough!
This story is absolutely heartbreaking but heartbreakingly beautiful all at once. These characters were portrayed in a way that I feel like I’ve known them for years and I wish I did know Sam or Charlie in real life.
There are so many great things I could say about this book but honestly people just need to pick this book up and find out for themselves!!!

Is this story gruesome? Yes. Does it repeat the same gruesome and traumatic events 5-7 times with different POV’s and slightly different events being added? Also yes. Did it keep my attention the whole time? YESSS. I feel like her books are not for the faint of heart. It has so many triggering themes, but she is a great detailed narrator. While sad on so many levels, I loved this book.

I really, really loved this story. It was intriguing, mysterious, twisty, dark and all the things I'm looking for in a thriller. It's chock full of content warnings, but overall isn't terribly descriptive of the hard moments so check them, but if you're in the fence if give it a try.
*possible light spoilers ahead*
It's got what I'd call a happy ending despite all that occurs. Our main characters grow and heal and are on the path to happier lives as we reach the end. It was tragic in so many ways, but I really loved the outcome.
The twists were jaw dropping. I couldn't believe how intertwined everything ended up being... It was so well written and despite being pretty long, I absolutely devoured this book.
