i've only seen bad reviews on this but..... i loved it. i must've missed something. i, personnally, could't put it down.
i was intrigued and loved the plot. i had a little trouble getting attached to theo but it didn't take anything away from the book. also, i must be stupid or something because i tell you, i did NOT see the ending coming at ALL. i was shocked and had a hell of a time reading this. like, i will remember it for a long time. some characters lacked a little depth or complexity but it didn't affect anything to me. i also think a few mental health concepts were clumsily exploited but i get that as an author, you can't get it all right.
all in all, a really enjoyable read and a very good thriller. one of my favorite reads this year.
