4.25

This is a story of a young woman name Geo and something that she did over 14 years ago that haunts her on a daily basis until she gets caught and then the story unfolds about the truth of what happened to her best friend who went missing when they were in high school. 

I enjoy reading thriller and mysteries with a romance sub genre but the romance has to be surface level and this book did not disappoint in that regards. 

The only reason I did not rate this book 5 stars is because although the intrigue and suspense was told tier… I did not enjoy reading about SA on page at three different occasions throughout the book. I wish authors who write about SA found other ways to elude to it because sometimes it is too much for me to read. Which is weird because I love reading mysteries and thrillers but I don’t understand why the trauma in most thrillers involves the woman being SA.
