This book was a crazy compelling read. I flew through the audio in just under 48 hours, which is fast, even for me. I was totally fooled by Jackson, who is a trash person. Amber isn't that great either, but I liked that I knew that from the beginning and was still rooting for her at the end to be an antidote to Jackon's major issues. Definitely a must-read for anyone who likes thrillers/major plot twists.

This book intrigued me for the first 50 pages, and I had high hopes that it would be an interesting read.
But it wasn't. Unfortunately this turned out to be a really boring and nasty read.
We start with the perspective of Amber for a good part of the book, but it's just really stretched out. And even though I don't mind reading about a unlikeable character, Amber was just so hateful that I wasn't enjoying myself.
Then we get the perspective of Daphne, Mrs. Parrish, and I hoped that this would bring the enjoyment back. But the book just got nasty. Not that Daphne was a nasty character, but the events that happen.
I did not like the message this book was giving and I do not recommend reading it.
