I had really high hopes for this one after hearing my sister give it rave reviews. And it wasn't horrible! It definitely did not disappoint (that much). However, I am really someone that is very critical of any thriller themed material I consume be it TV show, movie, books etc.

Likes:
- The story was really very solid and the piecing together was exciting. I was intrigued and shocked every time some parts were revealed and bits of the story slowly came together
- The two main leads had great chemistry and I was really glad that no romance transpired between them! The side characters were also so wonderful and you find yourself suspecting them but also rooting for them at the same time :P
- It was not too long and the pace was good. I didn't feel like I was forced to sit through anything or that any parts were draggy.

Dislikes:
- Even though the final reveal made sense and was pretty cool, I was a bit disappointed.
- There were lots of elements and I think there were moments of confusion that weren't explained. I think there were also too many red herrings and this definitely was not going to be a mystery that as an audience you could have pieced together because you aren't given all the clues.

If you like thrilling/mystery themed dramas and want a break from the rom com life, I highly recommend this!
