The premise of this book drew me in right away, although it was a bit slow paced and took me a while to finish. Still, I enjoyed this book overall and found it very easy to read. The story was gripping and almost every chapter opened up new questions and possibilities. I kept wanting to turn the pages to learn more. The mystery had a lot of layers which kept things interesting! The relationships were complex and nuanced, which made them feel very realistic.

Sometimes it got a little hard to follow the multiple POVs and triple timelines. Another downside was that I didn't feel particularly drawn to either of the female MCs, yet I was very empathetic with both male MCs, Gabe and Max. Which is interesting since I'm usually the other way around - but I felt that the author did a great job of touching on difficult topics related to mental health and trauma for both of these characters.

The ending wasn't quite as exciting as I expected it to be, but I thought that the author did a good job tying together all the loose ends.

3.5 stars!

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for the ARC copy!
