I’ve been waiting to read this for a long time and I finally did. As always I had high expectations because of comments that say they didn’t expect the plot twist at all, and that it was REALLY shocking. I’ve been searching for a mystery/thriller book that really shocks me and catches me off guard, and this one was pretty close. I always suspect almost every single character, so I’m never SHOCKED, but the details surprised me enough :) Would recommend.

This book has convinced me, that I am ok. maybe i do not NEED therapy and imma j ride out life. I was reading A Little Life, and as much I enjoy it still, it was super slow and this definitely got me out of a slump I read it in like 3 days which is a record. Slay, the build up was indeed there, just better execution. But i think it works for my ADHD just not in the writers world perspective.

I trusted the narrator and HE LIED TO ME. This is where my trust issues lies.
