About this ebook

In this international bestselling thriller, a former teacher delivers her final lesson to her students—including the two children that murdered her daughter.

After calling off her engagement in the wake of a tragic revelation, Yuko Moriguchi had nothing to live for except her only child, four-year-old child, Manami. Now, following an accident on the grounds of the middle school where she teaches, Yuko has given up and tendered her resignation.

But first she has one last lecture to deliver. She tells a story that upends everything her students ever thought they knew about two of their peers, and sets in motion a diabolical plot for revenge.

Narrated in alternating voices, with twists you'll never see coming, Confessions probes the limits of punishment, despair, and tragic love, culminating in a harrowing confrontation between teacher and student that will place the occupants of an entire school in danger. You'll never look at a classroom the same way again.

This book was just okay. If you like a story with multiple points of view and a twist ending this book would be a good read. I read it following Parasite Eve thinking it would be similar but it was not and I was a bit disappointed. I find it hard to like any of the characters. The main woman is in pain so it is understandable she isn't exactly likable but it makes the story harder to trudge through.

Confessions is a great read. It takes twists and turns I never saw coming and keeps your interest. I was so engrossed in the plot, characters and confessions, that i read it on one sitting. Highly recommended.
