This book started off great. I was really into it and had not idea how it was going to play out. The different points of views were a great idea, especially since there were a few points of views that we didn't know who they belonged to. If this book would have ended 100 page sooner when we found out who the killer was, then it would have been a 4.75 star book. But the author ruined it by dragging it on so much. The last 100 pages felt like they were never going to end, and the "twists" at the end were super predictable. I will say that this book is super dark, and you might need to look up the trigger warnings before you read it. For me, I was intrigued, but honestly, that just made me think about how messed up I have to be to enjoy the first half of a book that is so disturbing. I'm not sure if I would recommend this book tbh. I'm conflicted cause the first half was soooo good, but the last half ruins the story completely.
