Couldn’t finish, what an awful book with terrible writing and boring one dimensional characters. And I guessed the ending/villain not even half way through the book. Good thing I didn’t pay for this garbage (returned it to the library though I wish I could just burn it so no one else have to read it 😂).

Excellent book. Even though I'd been planning on making it my next book to read casually, I couldn't put it down, and finished it in 24 hours.

Many of the characters are unlikeable, but that only makes the book better in some ways. I loved the POV writing, I loved the skipping in time, I loved the unfolding of the truth. Some books bother me when they keep the truth as a prize you get in the end, but because the main character is only figuring out the truth as the story goes on, it works well here.

Incredibly atmospheric and crackled with intensity. Super quick read. Add it to your spring break suitcase or beach bag!

It took everything in me not to flip to the end to see who the killer was. Great suspense and writing to the very last word.

once you get past being annoyed with the alcoholism it's good
