Keeps you guessing and reading into things to throw you off. Narration voice is fantastic. Did not want to stop listening. Sensitive topic not for everyone but it just make the book even more gut wrenching and makes you just want to get to the end.

Captivating

Loved the story and all the twists and turns. Just when I thought I had it figured out, I was proven wrong each time. It’s also a heartbreaking book and was incredibly sad. The narration was confusing because the voice would change in the middle of a chapter with the same character. At first I thought o was imagining it but it kept happening . It made me think the character changed and id have to go back and re listen to it. Also, the story would be told from one characters point of view and then in the same chapter it would witch to another character, I find this kind of character switching easier to follow when it’s broken up into separate chapters.

Amazing story but confusing narration
