I loved the pacing of this book. I thought I guessed the end twist before being completely blindsided by it. Abi being the omnipresent, yet clearly withholding, narrator allowed the characters to come alive. Each main character is hiding something as the book goes on, and those who aren't hiding things are emotionally compromised. By the end, I couldn't decide if Abi was reliable and the ending left me breathless.
