I had a fun time listening to this one. I'd highly recommend the audiobook because it perhaps even boosted my rating a bit because the narrators made it even more interesting. The story dragged me in from the first chapter and managed to keep me hooked. Some of the twists where very predictable, some of them I guessed parts of the idea but not the whole thing, and others totally surprised me. But overall I had a good time with this book and enjoyed seeing it unfold.

 This was not as fun as The Guest List, maybe fun is the wrong word though. I still enjoyed it but the tension in this book fizzled towards the middle. There were slow parts and then everything started really moving in the last 3rd of the book. And I seriously laughed when

we find out that nearly everyone in the apartment wanted to bang Jess's brother. No way anyone is that charismatic.
