Review of an advance copy received from author
No, this is the kind of book that forces me to devour my read within a day, or better yet, less than a day if it keeps my brain fully awake. If it keeps messing with my emotions through all the psychological aspects. If it keeps me curious. If it keeps shocking me with twists.
Not only does this book meet every single one of my checklist to not put it down, but every chapter keeps me busy connecting tiny little dots about what is really going on with the main character. Every chapter ending makes you stop, question everything in your mind, and then continue reading again with full pumped-up spirit.
Aside from all the questions appearing at the end of each chapter, I also caught myself constantly making theories… only to later edit those theories myself hahaha. But surprisingly, none of it gives me a headache. There’s only enjoyment and contentment slowly climbing higher and higher as the story progresses.
The story follows Gracie Boone’s journey to uncover who she really is. On the very first night staying in her university dorm room, she sees a motionless figure watching her from outside the window. Of course, no one else sees it.
As days pass, something slowly makes Gracie question her own identity. She starts believing she is not herself. That maybe she was taken away from her real parents. But how could that even happen when her dad is the chief of police in town?
With her paranoia growing stronger, Gracie loses her sense of safety. She becomes desperate to find evidence for what she believes, but doing that means taking the riskiest path of her life. And the whole time, she still has to navigate classes, toxic friendship, and a crumbling long-distance relationship all. at. once.

What I love the most is how the psychological tension keeps tightening without making the story feel confusing at all. I can tell, the author knows exactly how to feed little clues little by little without revealing the mystery too early. And honestly? That balance is hard to pull off.
The atmosphere also feels constantly unsettling in the best way possible. Not overly dark to the point where it exhausts you, but like I said, it’s eerie enough to make your mind stay alert the entire time.
This is absolutely the kind of psychological read that keeps whispering “just one more chapter” while your brain keeps running nonstop. Every answer only creates more questions and plants more curiosity in your mind. Suddenly, you realize you finish half the book in one sitting. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
