I love this book. I did put it down for quite some time (that's my reading process), but I really enjoyed this book once I picked it back up.

4.0

By some miracle I wasn't fully spoiled for this book. I thought I knew one thing going in,

that the main premise is a woman who fakes her own disappearance.

And even with that knowledge, I was still surprised over and over. 

I was worried I'd find it a bit boring, thinking I knew the main twist, but there were so many twists to come it really kept me on my toes! I have a harder time reading physical books, especially first getting into them. But this one was so easy, with its super short chapters and constant guessing. 

I wasn't super satisfied with the ending, but I suppose

they each sort of got what they deserved, except she deserves to be in prison, so there's that.
