This was my Book Club’s pick for the month of May. I was SO excited to dive into a fairly new Thriller as that was something we hadn’t done yet! (Note: I was only 2/3 through when we got to book club and finished it after our meeting.)
I’d been having a rough May, not really finding a lot of things I liked and I even DNF’d about 3-5 books between platforms. I’m not sure if it was finals stressing me out, or work being busy, but I just could not get in the mood to read. This book changed that and got me out of my slump and renewed my love of Thrillers!
This story is primarily following 3 girls who years ago survived some pretty horrific trauma and have been living with it ever since. Another big event brings them back together where they’re forced to relive the past - and there are some things that were better off left unsaid.
Even though there was a large cast of secondary characters, I feel that the overall character development of this book was done really well. I don’t think there was a character I really hated and they all gave me *pings* to think that they ‘might’ have been a suspect or were responsible for some of the things that happened. Because of this, there were a lot of times where I thought the story was going to lead in one direction only to be totally flipped and I was like; “Damn, I was so off!”
Highly, highly recommend! A fast-paced page turner that I couldn’t put down.
