I love a book that plays with structure and builds tension; this did that so well and delivered a slam dunk of an ending for such a short book. However, I found the characters to be a bit cartoonish at times, feeling more representative of a concept than a real person. Anthony's writing is sharp, though, and I did like how each alternating chapter revealed more and more about their backstories and secrets. It leans a bit toward soap opera, but then the nuanced ending causes you to reconsider how you feel about these characters and their choices. Deceptively smart, though maybe not the most impactful or memorable story ever.

More like a 3.5 stars.
