I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an open and honest review! I’ve given it 4 out of 5 stars!

The story was easy to follow despite it dipping between flash backs and the present. I did not get confused, it was very clear to tell where we were, which some authors don’t manage to achieve.

Overall, the writing style fitted very well with what I typically like to read! I finished it in only a couple of sittings, I felt an attachment to the characters and was invested in what happened throughout! Felt myself muttering under my breaths and points when I disagreed with what they were doing! (My equivalent at shouting at the tv/film when someone does something I don’t approve of

Toby moves back to her hometown to care for her mother. As a lawyer, a blast from the past (former teen crush) hires her to be his divorce lawyer. The problem? His wife is missing and later found murdered. Clearing Josh's name seems to be her focus while she runs into old camp members who once made her life hell. Could they be involved somehow?

After the third chapter, I was invested in the story. It seemed to gain momentum the more the story propelled forward. The author did an amazing job of establishing the motivation of her characters, scenery, character development, and plot movement. Toby was a good character to tell the story through. Her involvement from start to finish reeled me in as a reader. I felt she was the perfect focus of the book and fit into the meat of the story.

The author did a great job of keeping the reader invested because I didn't want to put it down. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time I was reading. Event after event, character after character, and surprise after surprise propelled this amazing story forward.

I personally loved the ending of this book is ambiguous. There were several ways the author could have ended Toby's life. I loved the ending. I loved this entire book.
