This one was okay for me, could have gone 3 or 4 stars. It was an interesting concept, but I felt like the story could have been paced much better. There were confusing switches between narrators and timelines, which sometimes made the events hard to follow. I think the twists toward the end were pretty good but could have been better executed.

***Spoilers from here***

I was surprised when Bea and Meredith were revealed to have killed Shelby. Meredith then freaks out, Bea kills her, and holds Delilah in her soundproof garage for 11 years. The girl they found was not Delilah but another missing girl who was the victim of a copycat crime. The reveal that the girl they found wasn’t Delilah was done well I think, but I wish that the initial “Delilah” chapter was written such that we thought it was from the girl they found, but in hindsight was the real Delilah above Bea’s garage. I think it also would have been more interesting if Shelby already been dead and Bea/Meredith stumbled upon her body and mistakenly took the blame. Overall I just think that the pacing of the story could have been much better. I remained interested in the book, but didn’t feel hooked, like I couldn’t stop reading. If anything, I fell asleep reading this book a few nights in a row. There was too much in the beginning half of the book. I think if they’d revealed that the girl wasn’t Delilah sooner, then had more investigation into that, the story would have felt more evenly paced.
