I was really excited to start reading this book - I had it in my library holds for weeks and had been following the hype about it. And I can confidently say, it did not disappoint.

I thought the characters were realistic and believable, and I thought St. James did a great job with Viv and Carly's parallel stories and overall development. I also thought the pacing of the unfolding of the crimes was really well done as well. And when their stories overlapped, it was a true moment of literary goodness.

I love a book with a good twist, and this had a twist as good as it comes. The chapters following the big reveal had my heart pounding. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone who wants a quick, thrilling read, or anyone who is a fan of true-crime and detective stories.
