I loved this book!!! When I saw that the reviews/ratings were mixed, I was a little apprehensive about reading it. I am so glad that I did! Once I picked it up, I didn’t want to put it down. It holds up to the “psychological thriller” in every sense. I’ve said on my blog before that I am pretty good at guessing endings in books long before they happen. But not with this one! I wouldn’t describe it as “scary” but there are definitely some creepy moments throughout the book…nothing that will give you nightmares or anything of that sort. This is one book that I really hope is made into a movie. I can’t even believe I am saying that! Normally I wouldn’t want a good book to be ruined by a movie..but I think a movie would actually be very good!
