At first, it took me a bit of time to figure out just what was going on in this book. The first few chapters had me wondering if I would like the book. Then the story got good. Really good. Can't put it down good.

It seems like there are a lot of books of this genre with "girl" in the title. This is my favorite so far. My next read is a different "girl" book; looking forward to reading Girl in a Band.

I spent a long time not sure if I wanted any of the characters to be okay. Thankfully at the end I started to feel for the narrators but it takes too long to get there. Delightfully creepy tho.
It started out strong and then devolved into a a mess of unlikable, unreliable, nonredeemable characters that are all interconnected through they don't notice it.
The three different voices on the audio book are nice to delineate character though the time line jumps don't work as well in the audio version.
By the end, the tension the author was trying to create seemed overblown and drawn out. ...more

A fun, fast read that will keep you guessing
I love these kinds of books, and I suppose it's the fact that they're so rare that makes me love them all the more. Well-written, well-plotted, well worth the several hours of your life you'll lose devouring this book. ...more

I went from feeling empathy for Rachel to disgust, irritation, disbelief, and more empathy. Most of the characters turn out to be awful in their own unique ways by this novel's conclusion. Hard to put down, quick read.

This was a page-turner for about the first two thirds of the novel, but the three main POV characters are not only unreliable, but they are also extremely unlikable. I hated the jumping forward and backward in time.
A disturbing book where every character is flawed. Lots of twists throughout the book that keeps you wondering and driving you to continue reading. As nightmarish as it was, it was difficult to put down.
Really engaging, well written, and kept me guessing!
