I picked this book out on a whim soley judging by the cover and the brief synopsis that I saw on the sign up form. And I am so glad I did!!

I was hooked on this story from the very start. I have not read many books adult and not that dealt with a stalker and this definitely kept me on edge the whole time while reading. I could not imagine being in Charlotte situation at such a young age and even as an adult going through the things she went through. I am so glad she found a friendship with Nate to be that constant support that she so desperately needed. I was very frustrated with her parents that they weren't taking her claims serious and couldn't see the things that were happening in her life.

I can't go too deep into all the things that happened in this book because I fear of saying too much and taking away from the mystery of it all.

I paired my reading with the audio and queen Jesse Vilinsky who embodies teenagers so well with her voices! She is one of my favorite narrators and she nailed Charlotte's vulnerable/scared tone so well.

Please check trigger warnings - this has a high amount of stalking & emotional abuse in a relationship so proceed with caution.

I am excited to see what else the author will do in the future as this was such a strong debut.

I highly recommend if you are looking for continuous suspenseful guessing game that keeps you going until the end!
