challenging dark emotional tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix

5.0

This books was really good, creeped me out and kept me wanting to know who was innocent and who wasn’t. Only issue with this book is the pacing, it was hard to tell what when days changed as it was kinda jumpy aswell as the writing not being clear a lot of the time on who was talking. Other than that the story was really compelling I struggled to stop reading

Trigger Warning : Sexual offence/ murder / bullying 
.
.
I will not tell you the blurb and also I will suggest you never to read blurb of a mystery or thriller..
In this book reading blurb spoiled my excitement...coz since lase few thrillers and mystery I had stopped reading blurb before or while reading ...
.
I will just say a woman fell in love with a guy who is in prison ...
That's it ..
Don't try to read blurb further.
.
So 
Beginning was great, I was literally  hooked. Till half of the book I was very much interested..
Then things went slow for a while ..
But I was hoping it will get better by the end..
But end was all rushed..
No explanation nothing ..
I think some talk about the mental condition should also be discussed it's psychological thriller so that's expected..
And I had also expected something else which didn't came..
So yeah it was ok read for me..
.
Infact the end could have been much better ..(I got few ideas for alternative ending 😂)
That's coz Story was great in the beginning..
And some brilliant end would have made it much better.
.
I would say you can skip it even though I am giving it 3 stars 
Coz I can't ask you to read it coz first half was good And the premise was kind off different..
.
If you are regular thriller reader you can try.. 
Like i would have tried 😀.
