I really enjoyed this book. The story is told from three different perspectives so you get the full story and not just one POV. And although I love thrillers and mysteries, I can usually figure out the killer or the twist pretty early on. With this one, I genuinely thought I had it figured out about 1/4 of the way in, but I was completely wrong when it was revealed at the end. I actually liked that it hadn't been so easy to pinpoint the killer and that I was able to experience that “wait... what??!” bit of surprise when it was finally revealed. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I really didn't care for the Hattie character at all. Everything about her was awful and she came across as selfish and unsympathetic.
