This book was one of the most cleverly written books I've had the good fortune to read. 

This story starts with the readers meeting both Jasmine, who's escaping an abusive relationship, and Stephanie, who's newly divorced and headed to a work conference. As a trigger warning, domestic abuse is mentioned in this book. However, most are off-page and are not a central theme of the story. 

This story is told from multiple POVs. We only see a small amount from Jasmine and Stephanie in the beginning, but the other chapters alternate between their friends and coworkers and what's happening as both women send strange texts, and eventually, disappear. I know this format won't be for everyone, but I found it refreshing and it made it easy to keep reading another chapter since the content was generally contained to that specific POV. It also reminded me much of a true crime show, where everyone is recounting their interactions with suspects and possible victims. 

The story is definitely more plot-based. The character development isn't super in-depth and this is obviously because we're hearing the bulk of the story from the outsiders of the story. 

The twist at the end of the story was not what I expected. I knew something had to be going on but this story twisted and turned in ways I wasn't even leaning towards. Did it seem entirely realistic? No, but it was thrilling and exciting. 

This is a great debut and I'd recommend letting yourself get lost in the travel and twists with this one.
