"Fun plot twist, though I did guess part of it. I feel like I should've hated all the characters because of how naive and stupid most of them were, but they ended up growing on me. I love books with multiple narrative point of views."

"I had really high expectations of this book. The synopsis was so intriguing. The ending wasn’t really hard to figure out. But there was little twists in there. The characters didn’t have much of a personality. "

"This was one of the first books I read where it was under the mystery genre and I couldn’t have been more happier with the entire plot. The author has put all of the plot twists and each of the characters’ secrets on display for the readers to know a little of their background and how it contributes to the plot."
