    **Non-Spoiler Review**

    I really enjoyed this book. It was a well-crafted story told from many points of view. I felt like each POV was unique and made sense for their character. For the most part, each character’s actions, dialogue, and thoughts were consistent with their motivations. Each character felt real which kept me pulled into the story. Also, I enjoyed the way she used several different levels of narrative distance depending on the POV.

    The prose was smooth and easy to read, yet compelling and interesting. I felt like I was having a conversation with a well-spoken person.

    Overall I gave it 4/5 stars.

    **Spoilers**

    >!I thought the author did a good job tying all loose ends into a neat little knot by the end, however, I did feel my suspension of disbelief stretched a bit in that effort. I felt somewhat cheated to find out that Maggie was the person who hit Erin with her car and that she had been in hiding because of it. The fact that she had just left her phone at home was too convenient and I just didn’t believe her response to hitting Erin to be genuine actions her character would take. Also, the fact that the detective just gave up on finding out who hit Erin was too much of a cop-out, especially when she had been characterized so much as not believing in coincidences. The author actually pointed this contradiction out, which shows she expected readers might feel that way.!<

    >!I’m not sure I get the point of leading the reader to believe Erin’s father was the killer and then revealing it to be Sam. It felt like a pointless twist just for the sake of a twist.!<
