oh my twisty turny LAWD!
I had literally no idea where this one was going the entire time so I was just along for the ride 😨🤯🤭
I’m allllll for a mysterious backstory premise so I threw myself into this one and let me tell you - I could NOT put it down! it physically pained me
by separating the sections into parts 1-4, it kept the story moving and flowing in chronological order without confusing the multiple POVs and shifts. it was so well written that the reader got a tingly sense of what was coming a few chapters before the twist actually happened.
it built suspense perfectly!!!! and made my thriller queen heart so happy because I hadn’t gotten a real good gasp in awhile 🤌🏼🤌🏼
there were a few loose ends that remained open, but I found that it didn’t bother me BECAUSE THAT TWIST AT THE END WAS SO PERFECT!!
a huge thank you to netgalley, jennifer, and minotaur books for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. I already pre-ordered my copy for july!!!! 😅
