Wow, wow, wow!!
First of all, this author did an amazing job. I never would have guessed this was her debut novel. Secondly, the twists in this book!!! If I didn't have a job and other adult responsibilities I could have easily devoured this book in one day. There was never a point where I wanted to stop reading. I'm also impressed with how much psychology knowledge was in this book, as a psych major and current school psychologist I appreciated the accuracy. Also the deep dives into character traumas?? This author 10000% knows what she's doing. All the characters were so well-rounded. I'm so glad I picked this book as one of my Amazon First Reads. I definitely recommend this book and am excited to see what else the author comes up with!
