The book could have been shortened significantly. I felt like the gaslighting between Chloe and Joann became the entire theme of the novel and continued for HOURS of the book. Approximately 5 hours into the audiobook, I heavily considered DNFing the book, because the gaslighting was just so overdone (and in a childish way, albeit). I didn’t want to listen to it anymore. Thankfully, the last hour and a half of the book picked up and the plot thickened.

I read this book in one day because I simply could not put it down! From the very first page I was intrigued and on edge. The author did an amazing job of immersing you in the story— I felt the anxiety, fear and suspense that the main character felt the entire time! In the first half I felt frustrated with the characters and how predictable it was, but as the story unfolded in the second half I realized I was being tricked just the main character. Every time I thought I knew what the truth was, things got flipped upside down and I was questioning everything all over again. 

This truly was a wild ride and I highly recommend you take your blood pressure meds before reading!
