A book full of twists that kept me wanting to know more and more. Jumping between timelines made the book feel much slower and at times lost my attention, but the timelines were obviously necessary for the story. Throughout this book I had no idea who to trust, or who I could even like, and the ending made that even more so. Some points were much darker than I anticipated- be warned that sexual assault is graphically described at one point!! The rollercoaster of this story was interesting, but the characters and pace brought the rating down for me!
