My first impression of this book was that it was all over the place. The narrator wasn't always clear, and the style was often confusing, flipping between before the accident and after. But, as I got closer to the end, the reason for this hit me with an almost physical force. The twists and turns this novel take the reader on are both shocking and gripping, and it is for this reason that I managed to devour the book in a day. The carefully layered prose and intense emotions threaded through the pages kept me absorbed and intrigued from beginning to end.
The writing style very much reminded me of [[Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn|Gillian Flynn]]. Thrilling, dark, and full of suspense, this book will take you on a psychological journey that you won't forget in a hurry. You might also enjoy [[Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn|Sharp Objects]] or [[Panic by the same authorLauren Oliver]].
