This book was alright ig

Storyline is great!

I borrowed this book from my friend and to be honest, it was worth the read. The first half of the book contained a lot of explicit language along with some rude behaviour. However, as the story continued, it seemed mild and settled. This book also contains sudden twists which I really enjoyed and look forward to when I read any book. Nevertheless, I felt that I still need some time to get adjusted to read these genres as I have just stepped into the world of reading teenage books. I am sure that ages of fourteen and above will really like this book.

So Good!!!

This book is really good! I was able to predict a few of the things that were going to happen, but the ending was more of a twist than I was expecting! I was really able to relate to Aubrey's character, especially her home life and the relationship she had with her dad. The end of the book leaves you on a slight cliff hanger and I am already wanting a sequel. The book switches perspectives between 4 different people and 2 time periods, which just means that you have to pay attention to whose talking. I did find that it was kind of hard to keep the parents' characters straight, especially Adam and Anders. Anyways, it's a good book that will keep you reading.

A really good thriller

!SPOILER ALERT! I really like this book and think that it’s just fine for 13+ because it does have a lot of violence like when Matt Rayan dies and one of the uncles is an alcoholic but if your 12 year old is very mature than sure. I like that we see the side of Allison when she was younger because it matches up perfectly with the present.
