Kept me guessing, but I didn’t love the story. Too many inconsistencies between Sutton and Ethan. And the last reveal was completely unnecessary. Everyone was gaslighted, including the readers, but given the many holes, I didn’t find it satisfying.

I really enjoyed this!  The only reason it got 4 stars instead of 5 is because I found some of the twists predictable.
