Absolutely incredible thriller that hooks you from the beginning and doesn't let go!!! I was so captivated by the plot and had to know what was going to happen next. The characters are written so well that you absolutely understand their pain and frustration and want to support them!! The narrators of the audiobook are perfect, I loved the dual perspectives from each of them! It really added a layer of authenticity to the whole thing. The ending?!?!!! Are you kidding me??? Absolute perfection. WOW I can't recommend this enough!!

This story was unexpected, I enjoyed the different chapter styles! The main character is unlikable while still being understandable. There were a bit too many characters which made it a little hard to follow, but it all made sense in the end. The ending kind of threw it off for me since it was a bit too perfect and unrealistic. But overall I enjoyed this book and would recommend it!

I absolutely LOVED this book!!! I was so hooked from the very beginning! The characters are so well written that I felt invested in their stories, even the side characters! The twists and turns were unreal, I could not stop reading because I had to find out what was going to happen next! I was shocked and disgusted and annoyed and angry and happy...this book gave me ALL the emotions!! Definitely recommend this one to thriller lovers!

I didn't love this one as much as I wanted to! Without spoiling anything: one of the early twists was too similar to the plot of a recently read thriller that I didn't enjoy at all, which took a lot of the fun out. Then bits of it got confusing as I was trying to follow along with what the characters were hinting at without giving anything away directly.
I was only mildly invested in the book itself, but the audio was absolutely incredible! It was fun listening to the narrator's accent and they did a great job voicing all the different characters.

I really liked following along with this story! It was twisty and the characters were well written. There were times when the multiple timelines got a bit confusing, but I did really enjoy reading all the different perspectives!
I loved that this book was set in a small Wisconsin town! The plot and major twist were pretty predictable, but I still enjoyed the journey. The characters had interesting relationships and it was fun to get each of their views on everything happening!

This seemed too similar to Legends & Lattes, but without the heartwarming, cozy feelings. It was a quick read but didn't have the same spark. The majority of the book was pretty dull and not much happened, until the very end when everything happened at once. Cute characters though!

An absolutely incredible book!!! A combination of TJ Klune, The Midnight Library, Mr. Penumbra's 24 Hour Bookstore, and The Book of Doors!! I fell in love with the characters and was cheering for them the whole way. I cried and laughed at the same time, and now I want to read this book again!! Maybe in another universe...
An absolutely wild ride of a thriller with twists and turns galore!! This was different than Hidden Pictures because this is definitely a suspenseful thriller instead of a creepy kid horror book, but this is just as good!! I really enjoyed this one, must read author for me now!
