I absolutely loved this book, I thought it was such an interesting concept and it had me hooked right away. I'll be seeing Laura in my nightmares, but it was a nice change from what I usually read.
This book will yank you in every direction and you'll be sat for it the entire time. Every time something happened, I went "no way". It was so fun to read something so unpredictable and it is so cool how the author is able to write in a way that makes you almost want to be rooting for Laura, wanting to see if she gets away with it or not.
I want to give major credit to the author, as I expected a book with this much going on would have a ton of plot holes in the end, but the way everything plays out and all makes sense had me telling all of my friends, "you have to read this book!".
