This is a great fiction book, but I don’t know that I can call it a thriller. Maybe it’s the upbeat wear the narrator read it, or maybe it’s because of how many POVs there was, but it wasn’t entirely suspenseful. There was a plot twist, and some tense situations at the climax, but I think it needs to be a little more than tense to be a thriller. I think having the antagonists POV may have taken away some of the mystery as it was clear they were a little crazy from the beginning. But as a fiction book, it is still entertaining, I was compelled to keep reading to know how it got resolved, and it handled its themes very well.

 I do think this story will translate well as a thriller for a tv show where we aren’t exposed to every character’s thoughts and actions. Probably one of the rare situations where the show may be better than the book, and I look forward to watching it.
