I expected OUT to be my top favorite book. It has potential. 3/4 of this book was absolutely amazing! The writer built atmosphere and various character's points of view in an appealing way. I couldn't put it down. I love the good, the bad and the ugly friendship there. It has 'more than just covering up the murder for a friend'. And trust me, it went quite far. 

However, I'm the one among many readers who was truly disappointed with its ending. It ruins the first 3/4 in my opinion. I personally think it is unreasonable and weird. I do like weird storylines but not this๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ(๋ˆˆ_๋ˆˆ)
