This book looses its momentum when it switches from one person perspective to two, and then to three.

I understand this is a new trend for authors, but usually this tactic furthers the story or the experience. Me thinks the author didn't want to actually make this too thrilling or scary and thats why the two other perspectives are introduced... but instead of furthering the story it just watered down the experience. Leaving a flat predictable 2/3 of the book.

The book starts as a thriller and fizzles out into a weird drama & is going straight into the goodwill pile of books.

NOT A THRILLER

5/5, this was a really good book to listen to! The plot thickens at the end! But I love hearing from the three different perspectives of the main characters. The ending was the best!

It was a little predictable but it did have some nice twists in there
