Confessions

In this international bestselling thriller, a former teacher delivers her final lesson to her students--including the two children that murdered her daughter.

After calling off her engagement in the wake of a tragic revelation, Yuko Moriguchi had nothing to live for except her only child, four-year-old child, Manami. Now, following an accident on the grounds of the middle school where she teaches, Yuko has given up and tendered her resignation.

But first she has one last lecture to deliver. She tells a story that upends everything her students ever thought they knew about two of their peers, and sets in motion a diabolical plot for revenge.

Narrated in alternating voices, with twists you'll never see coming, Confessions probes the limits of punishment, despair, and tragic love, culminating in a harrowing confrontation between teacher and student that will place the occupants of an entire school in danger. You'll never look at a classroom the same way again.

I like that it was a quick read and the ending wasn’t what was expected. Just when you thought you knew what was happening, there would be a twist.

I had been anticipating this book for many months now and finally got my hands on it. I must say..this was a so-so read for me - meh. It did not live up to its expectations. I hated having to figure out who was being talked about as the author kept calling people by so many different names, but aside from that, the redundancy was getting frustrating. I know we are seeing different people's perspective in each chapter, but reading the same thing over and over could have been avoided. The paragraphs were so dense, by the time I was halfway through a chapter, I was getting bored. This book is pretty small and it took me all day to get through it.

Great storyline! The twists kept twisting and the turns were very unexpected. I really liked how it wrote in the point of view of each character because as the story goes on you really do start wondering what the mindset of each person was. The ending was a great TWIST! I appreciated the characters showing their point of view but certain parts when they crossed paths and it was told by another person already because quite redundant. Great thriller. Loved putting all the pieces together. Ultimate revenge ending
