I can't believe this has been on my TBR list for so long 😭 I loved this book so much. The characters were perfect. The plot was engaging and kept me wanting more.

If you are into Psychological Thrillers, this book is for you!

It’s actually because this story felt like 3 other plots from other books and movies all put into one book. I’m stealing a quote from a friend who said this when I described the book to them: “So it's disturbia with alcoholism?” It definitely reminded me o...read more
