I liked this much more than her first book. This was fast paced but still revealed clues slowly building up to the ending. This was definitely hard to put down.

We’re all a story within a story and a story of our own stories and I’m my own narrator of my story who is the narrator of life! Someone told me good writing meant three literary devices per paragraph!
