5.0

Alice Feeney sure knows how to write a thriller that keeps you guessing to the very last page. I was hooked on this book and it left me breathless a couple times from the intensity of the suspense.

I found the beginning to be frustrating and slow (honestly, maybe i was confused trying to follow threads?). After around page 130 (almost halfway) I found myself just wanting answers to how this tale would end. I was thankful for the short chapters. I did find the ending to be incredibly well written and satisfying, overall. Lastly, I pulled some decent quotes from this book.
The death in this book is shocking.

4.5 stars • 1/2 ebook 1/2 audiobook • I really enjoyed this - I loved that there was not one but two unreliable narrators, with a ‘he said, she said’ dynamic that left the reader guessing who did it right up until the end (and I did NOT call it in the slightest!)

Some of the things in this book were sickening. I really wish the book had killed off more characters than it did, honestly (a lot of male characters that were happy to take advantage of young girls, mainly.) A lot of it was disturbing for so, so many reasons, and not in a good way. In a large way, everyone in the book is a villain in some form. You're not sad when any of them die other than the last two. To a point, the real villains are oddly so villainous they aren't even believable. (Like the fur coat thing was Cruella level)

I did guess who the killer was almost the first time meeting them. I kept suspecting it at certain points but the book kept me second guessing myself until the end. Did it surprise me? Yes. Did I think it was believable... ish. Did I like 90% of what happened in the book? No. Did I like the mystery? I'm honestly not sure since I like to be surprised but I'm not sure I liked these surprises.
