Was kind of surprised that this was a Giffin book, seemed like it was a Jacquelyn Mitchard book or the like. It was very relevant to issues for today--but the thing that kind of threw me was that in the epilogue it said that a decade had passed...if I'm to believe that the majority of this book was set in 2008 I just don't see it. Yes, cell phones existed at that time, but snapchat didn't even start until 2011 and hasn't really become a big deal until the past 3 years or so , social media as a whole--definitely not what it is today. So that part just made the entire thing a head shaker for me.

Overall, the themes are important and the idea of who do you really trust, how can you know who to trust...that was fascinating. I also liked the multiple points of view and the impact of this one incident on so many people.

Wish it would't have been so predictable, wish there would have been more surprises.
