A potential to turn into a 5 star if I continue to think about this book as much as I think I will. This made me stop and think. Massively. I loved this book and all the twists and turns. It wasn’t a book I expected to enjoy, but I really did. Picked this up by accident as I had just read “The Last Passenger” also by Will Dean. Another fantastic novel by him which gripped me.

Although i did enjoy this book and stayed up way past my bedtime to find out how it ends, i almost DNF less than half way through. I think it is because the more interesting stuff (in my opinion) was few and far between, and as much as you get to know the main character…..shes the only one who is telling this story. Overall it kept me coming back for more, but I wouldn’t say it was one of my favorites.

It’s a little slow to start but once it kicks off you get absolutely sucked in! There’s a twist you would never have expected either

Incredibly sad and upsetting novel. Thankfully ends on a high note, but the main character goes through much trauma.
