Reviews with the most likes.
I liked the Guatemalan parts of Maya's story and history. Her dealing with her addiction issues was pretty well done. Her romantic relationship was also well done. She was struggling with several things, but she wasn't hopeless in the struggle. The actual thriller/ mystery part was a bit slow going and the twist was kinda drawn out. So the pacing was a bit weird. The characters were good, but the plot struggled.
Could not tell what was happening because it kept switching randomly from past to present and I didn't know where I was in the timeline.
Honestly a pretty boring thriller, doesn't really pick up until you're halfway through the book. I thought the main character was highly unlikable. The twist was impressive and not at all what I expected but there was also no way to have guessed it which is likely what made most of the book boring
