2.5 rounded to a 3.

I'm torn with this one. In some parts the writing is good and I'm hooked, and then in the next it's just a jumble of thoughts and happenings. There are quite a few scenarios introduced that end up having nothing to do with the baseline story and one is left wondering HUH?

The story is told from the 2 Becs. One is supposed to be in her mid-twenties (but is written like a giddy teenager), and the other is 16 (who is actually portrayed closer to that age). Bec's twin brothers (in the present day) are also written like they are adolescents. This definitely made it hard to connect or care about the characters.

There is a twist but it's thrown into the ending so quickly there wasn't time to process before the book just ends. I don't think this is one I would recommend to hardcore thriller lovers.
