I just can't get into it. It's too all over the place. I need to engage emotionally with a character pretty early on in a book to want to keep reading.

The format is part novel, part screenplay. It bounces between different years, but it remains consistent in the POV. It’s uniquely laid out but easy to follow. The ending was a little bit a let down.

Overall, a good story, but more disturbing than anything, and you have to get to the last few pages to be really disturbed. I'm having a harder time these days finding the horror/thriller books that make my skin crawl and don't allow me to put the book down. Overall, not really for me.

Halfway through the narrator started talking about the book being an audiobook, which hadn't been mentioned before, but there were fully formatted script pages. It was boring and a bit lame.
