It took me a little while to get in to the book but I really enjoyed it overall. It was very cleverly written, and kept me guessing the whole way through.

This book was very interesting. I liked the characters and the plot. Definitely twists and turns throughout that I didn’t see coming. I liked the quick short chapters, easy read. I wish there was more of the background of Lauren and her mom but it was good.

At first, the back and forth was a bit confusing. But it came through and kept me reading. Very good read.

This wasn't really what I was expecting...but that's not a negative. Without giving too much away, it was more about the protagonist's  journey rather than a psychological thriller.
I thought there would be more twists and turns but I correctly guessed most of what happened.
Well written.
