First off I have to say that I nearly fainted when I got approved for this ARC book! After discovering her books last year I cannot get enough of her books. When she announced that she will be releasing a new book this year I was ecstatic. I requested this arc on a whim completely convinced I won’t get approved but I did and I feel like I’ve arrived haha!

Ok now about the book, this book is everything you would expect from a Shari Lapena book. It has well built characters, multiple point of views, excellent pacing, misdirect and an ending that will leave your jaw on the floor.

I enjoyed every minute of this world that she created. Even though there are multiple characters and storylines to keep track of but the writing makes it easy to follow. On the surface it is just another murder mystery but if you pay attention you will see that it is more about how girls and women are treated in this society. How people in charge may look the other way to save their own skin and how people who look like open books carry secrets that no one knows.

This is a must read for anyone who loves thrillers!

Thankyou NetGalley and Penguin Random house Canada for sending me this book! Thankyou Shari for being such a genius with words
