I think thrillers are not for me. This one felt manipulative and dumb. I took one star off for the absolutely ridiculous and predictable ending.
First off, I flew through this one. It’s fast-paced with short chapters, which is basically my favorite combo when I’m in the mood for a twisty read. I was hooked from the first page and stayed intrigued the entire time.
That said… it almost felt too busy in parts. So much was happening that it got a little chaotic, and then the ending wrapped up kind of quickly. I wouldn’t say it was a bad ending, just a little underwhelming compared to the ride it took to get there.
Still, I really enjoyed the book and I’d absolutely recommend it if you love domestic thrillers with lots of twists and suspicious characters.

This book went by really fast - the pacing kept things moving. It was interesting the way it all ended up unfolding, but overall it was just okay.

I'm glad this book was short because it was not very rewarding to read. Dialogue was stilted, characters were one-dimensional, and the plot was held together by toothpicks. The entire book felt wildly underdeveloped and frustrating; no nuance whatsoever.
