‘Keeps you guessing until the final page’ (review by Paula Hawkins). Well more like the last sentence! The twist was twisting.

I eventually enjoyed this read, although it took until page 150 for me to stop contemplating DNF'ing the book. Then it got super interesting at around page 280... 
Good storyline, so good tense bits and twists. It just took too long for it to get interesting in my opinion! Makes you think about the truths and hardships when it comes to these situations.
