This was a wild ride. There a lot of books with plot twists that throw me, but this book took a complete left turn and then threw a plot twist on top of that. This is my second book by this author (Eight Perfect Murders was my first) and this was nothing like that book but both managed to leave you guessing and feeling tense until the conflict is resolved.

I think this is a great read for teens that really shows the depth of how relationships that are often downplayed in importance can truly cause a grieving process when they end. It even shows a process of self-forgiveness and how sometimes we do things we cannot take back, but we still must move forward.
