Nonstop Thriller

It’s not often I’m surprised by the ending but this one kept me guessing! Excellent casting and performance by the narrators too!

great read!!

Loved this book! Grabs the readers attention and offers two points of view to the story. Highly recommend for someone who likes suspense

Really good book

This one kept me on my toes. I thought I had it figured out till the very end. But NOPE! Well played!

entertaining

Montgomery does a good job weaving the backstory into present day in a way that leaves one wondering until the end. I found the ending to be more believable than other readers and liked how the other both used social assumptions about class and mental illness in ways that undermine common stereotypes. good job

Recommend for entertainment not realism.

What makes a good thriller? Not being able to guess the ending. I enjoyed the relationship between the two main characters even as they never fully trusted each other. I wished some of the supporting characters were a little more fleshed out but it didn’t make me unhappy. I am glad I read it and I only recommend to people who can take a book as a story not real life and not suppose to be. This book takes you places we don’t get to see much of in real life and some fantasize drama to be. A Netflix could make this in a limited series. I have to say you must read it to the end.
