Amazing! I’ve heard mixed reviews on this book about it being good in the beginning but getting worse as it ends but I disagree. I kept having so many thoughts on what really happened in the book, so many theories and I kept being wrong, which I liked. The book kept me on the edge of my seat, kept me second guessing any information given. I still can’t believe the twists in the end, it was honestly something I would have never guessed and I loved that. It was so easy to read, so easy to get into the mind of the narrator. Amazing
