Utterly predictable

If you read thrillers you’ll see this “twist” coming a mile away. I added a star because the first half at least went fast even though I knew every single thing that was going on. The second half was like a campy Lifetime movie. Everything that happened was completely unbelievable and I found myself laughing at the plot unraveling.

Note: we shouldn’t be laughing at thriller plots :/

Honest Review

I really enjoyed this book. It was slow to start, at first. A very touchy subject matter, however, the storyline was good. The person I thought it was kept changing throughout the story but that twist at the end had my jaw dropping. I didn’t see that ending coming at all. The only thing I didn’t like was that the characters were so naive and hard to like. I’m glad I got a chance to read this.
