Customer Reviews

Easy mystery read

Guess I'm one of the few who liked the story. The main character Jess is boring compared to the other characters but don't let that deter you. I enjoyed reading along the "Where is Ben" mystery. There are parts of stories that are filler and unnecessary but still none the less worth a nonchalant read

Would recommend

I liked this! You get perspective from all of the characters, each time giving you another piece of the puzzle. Great story and character development. The climax/twist/reveal is expertly laid out- you won't be able to predict the ending.

Just meh

This took me MONTHS to get through. And honestly, after finishing it I kind of wish I had just left it as a DNF, but I’m stubborn. Maybe this is something other people will enjoy, but for me it was drawn out and less than captivating. So much so that I forgot I was even reading it at one point because I was already onto the next book that would keep my attention.

OK read

This is for a younger crowd. It had suspense but it was just all over the place.

Just OK

It had a lot of back and forth between the characters. Also alot of flash backs in the middle of a paragraph. It was overall a good plot twisted story but it wasn't the greatest thing to read.

It's a book

First part of this review is going to start with a phrase “I finished it“ which means it wasn’t the worst thing I’ve ever read. There’s a lot of books that I’ve started giving up on if I don’t get into it. Second part of this review was going to say “I didn’t Google how it ends I reached the end.“ Because that has happened more than once. Sometimes I still finish the book, sometimes I decide that I just don’t care. Lastly, it’s a very complicated set up. No more than a few chapters per perspective, lots of flashbacks, it can be a bit much. It’s not terrible but it’s a good simple read. I started it at 10 o’clock at night, and I finished it by three in the morning. With only a few short breaks in between to do work at my job. But now I’ve read it and I don’t want anymore.

Very intriguing with lots of surprises

This book was full of suspense, thrills, and lots of twists and turns. I loved it until the last 50 or so pages when it became so farfetched, crazy and downright unbelievable. We read this in my book club and we were all disappointed in the ending. It felt rushed and could have had a better ending. Personally I felt there were several small details left out that would have made the whole story better for me. I would recommend it anyway because there were so many twists and turns and questions and surprises, and maybe others won't find the ending as poor as we did.

Page turner

This book is scandalous and juicy!
