The ending was where I gave it another star. Okay story but predictable to me. Duel characters. Nothing memorable. Just okay.
Talk about an unreliable narrator! I knew something fishy was going on but I couldn't have guessed what it was in a million years.
I tend to dislike books with unreliable narrators (like Gone Girl) because I think character development suffers to some extent. Plus they tend to be gimmicky: everything builds up to the big reveal. The plot is hard to follow, too, because you're never sure what's true. This one was especially like that because it went back and forth in time.

Really great twists and turns, but the incessant use of the f-word required me only giving this book 3 stars.

The special twist almost earned it a second star. But my god, do I loathe this style of thriller. Bland, incomplete characters, ridiculous lack of sense being necessary to propel the tissue-thin plot, endless pointless internal monologues.
I admit I wanted to reach the end. The narrators did an excellent job, so it was worth my while to listen rather than simply look up spoilers.
Look, even though they're different, they're marketed similarly and both have a fun twist at the end - compare this to ...more

I thought I saw what was coming but I did not see what was coming. Very good book!
This story was crazy! In the beginning I had a hard time figuring out the characters but once I did I really enjoyed it. It was a fast read and that ending was definitely something.
!!!
You think you know the twist, then there’s a twist in the penultimate chapter and then...it ends in a bigger twist!
Fun to read and super creepy.
