"I guess you saw what you wanted to see."
I actually finished this book yesterday, but I had to take a full 24 hours to think about what I wanted to say, because this book just has so much going on.
In terms of the thriller element, you can't fault it, and that's why I've given it five stars. I was hooked from the very first page, and even though this is a very gritty novel that deals with some very real issues, it is well-written and you can't help but want to read on. I couldn't put it down, even during the moments that were quite difficult to read.
I wrote myself some notes as I was reading this book, and one of the first things I wrote about the first chapter was this: 'First chapter = ?! Amazing! I'm hooked!' If the first chapter of this book doesn't make you want to read the rest of it, I don't know what will.
Our main character, Geo, is... peculiar, to say the least. I can't say I'm a massive fan - and I don't know if that was the point of her, but she wasn't a character for me. That being said, I think she is perfect for this novel; interesting and different enough to keep me reading the entire way through.
Highly recommend this if you want a gritty thriller full of twists and turns!
