I would probably recommend for Freida McFadden fans.... not for me. It was always a little popcorn thriller throughout but got even more so at the end. I was rolling my eyes and laughing at the ridiculous twists. The synopsis also says "for fans of Stacy Willingham", and stylistically, that's a huge mis-match.
I was engaged while I was reading this and the author had me interested, but the cover really kind of felt like a bait-and-switch. It looked extremely moody, atmospheric, and dark. The actual book didn't really have that vibe and was much lighter. Not funny-light, but not brooding.
Overall, the book was entertaining but I didn't really *like* it. I never really felt like I needed to quit but it just wasn't really what I was expecting, and a lot of things really could have gone a little deeper.
