This is a rollercoaster of a book. I was about halfway through and like hm, thought it was going to be more thrillery, but was still really interested and then got to the last section and bam! Really engaging book, keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time,highly recommend.

It flipped gender roles and expectations really well. The relationships of the characters with each other and their struggles to communicate were front and center which made it really relatable.
