My second Lucy Foley book.
And oh my, this one's more suspenseful and twisted over The Guest List! I think I can sense a pattern on her mystery/thriller books which I really appreciate. It's not a hard read but will get you thinking and guessing and keep the adrenaline rush. I even finished the half of this book in a day.

This really didn't do it for me. The reveal hit me like a nudge - I'm not sure why. The main narrator was doing like a brooding style voice, and maybe that came across as low-energy? The story was interesting, but I didn't really find it compelling. Maybe I would have if I had read it on paper? Glad that this wasn't my first book by Ms. Foley because I wouldn't be tremendously excited.

The Paris Apartment by @lucyfoleyauthor was an interesting and at times confusing but overall intriguing read. 

PROS: 
💻The twist left me with lots of theories, but I still didn’t see the exacts of that ending. 
📝I stayed on the edge of my seat trying to play detective 
💻That apartment building was described perfectly. I want to live there. 
📝The Concierge 
💻The fact I didn’t like anyone and wasn’t rooting for anyone, BUT I still just HAD to know. 

CONS: 
📝The jump from POV to POV every chapter and the movement from memory to present was just a lot. It added more to the confusion than helping lead me to the truth. 
💻There are some extremely heavy topics. Smex trafficking and forced smex work is something that will never get easier for me to read. 
📝Not enough cat content 

🐱🐱🐱🐱 out of five bloody kitten paws for the way that ending had my jaw on the floor

an absolute page turner. i only ever put this book down when i was forced to! loved the first person voice from multiple characters. 

the pace was medium throughout, with the end resolution coming in waves rather than all in one bite. 

timeline was a bit difficult to follow in some instances, as each chapter is no longer than a few pages before the POV switches again.
