It’s hard to not give this book 5 stars because I poured through it – I mean, I couldn’t put the story down! It was intense, creepy, thrilling, and so unique from what I normally read. This is my first Colleen Hoover novel, and certainly NOT my last. (Which is sort of funny because I know CoHo is known for romance… and this was pure suspense-thriller…)

So, why only 4 stars? The ending. I don’t know if it is a perfect ending, fitting the story, or if it is a contrived cop-out. Still unsure now.
