This is one of the hardest book to review if I wanted to make this remain a spoiler-free one but I’ll try my best here.
What I can say is the twist at the end was totally unexpected, while I have my own theories and suspicions the twist still manage to surprise me!
But to be honest, at first I had difficulties in following the plot.
I was so close to just stop and put this book down but, one of the POVs (Dee) really help me get a sense of what’s happening and put the puzzle pieces together.
So, I keep on reading in hope the answer will be worth the confusion. Suffice to say, I’m feeling quite satisfied with how it ends.
I admit the author did a really great job in researching about the topic she wanted to share in this story. I finally get to understand this book better after reading the afterword.
I have mixed feelings about this book.
At first it was quite boring because I was confused with where this story is going for quite a while, until the last few chapters make me change the way I view this book.
The key to read this book is to be patient and try to enjoy following through this confusing and dark psychological thriller story until the answer was revealed at the end.
