It was so easy to get lost in this story, the back and forth, what is and what isn't, and I loved every twisty moment of it.
A unique narration style, a twisty web of timelines to follow, a mystical twist ... consider me sat for the duration.
Amara, like most college students, doesn't want her mother's life. So, she is off doing ... well ... things that her mother wouldn't approve of.
Her mother, Paige? Well, she has a secret life all her own.
This story? Well, it's all about how those secrets circle and unwind and twist and turn, or maybe it isn't.
I was constantly left guessing what was going on, how people were connected, who was reliable and who wasn't. AND I LOVED IT.
So many times, it becomes black and white - this guy is a good guy, this guy is a bad guy. Every character starts to fall into their side of the mystery - but in this case? Not so much. I loved that even as the story resolves - I never really determined who was the good guy and who was the bad guy. Circling back to the opening of the book after having finished - I think I know where I fall on who to believe but ... could it be? Could it really be ... THAT?
And that's why I loved this book so much. It was twisty, and wild, and it made me think, and it made me go what the??? But also, at its core, it's about the fact that every story has three sides Side A, Side B, and the truth.
Can you handle the truth??
