What I thought:
I really enjoyed reading The Holdout. It was a bit of a slow start, but it picked up quickly and held my attention. I liked the alternate timelines and the fact that we learned so much about so many characters, although we had one singular narrator throughout the story. I had to continually guess about how the story was going to end and I did NOT expect it at all. 4.25/5
