Ooo this book made me really reconsider whether I was going crazy. I kid you not, I thought I was imagining things for a moment there while reading it.

This was a bit easy to predict in terms of the twists/plot points, but I still did really enjoy this book. It was an interesting take on a true crime/mystery, and overall, was well-written.
