Psychological thriller, definitely kept me on the edge of my seat. Finished it in only 2 days! My only critique is that the ending didn’t feel entirely believable

It’s giving the dollhouse episode of PLL

Reminded me a lot of Verity by Colleen Hoover, but less good with less tension and suspense.

However, it is still a super fast and easy read. I had a great time reading it, and really enjoyed it. It is only after sitting with my thoughts for a bit that I start finding flaws. I can definitely understand why this book is so popular.

If you are in a reading slump, this is the book you should read.

Very basic writing but curiously engrossing.
The Nina-narrated sections were far more interesting than the Millie ones, though neither were particularly interesting characters.
The twists were good, though somewhat predictable. Even though I had a section that I labelled to myself as the stupidest passage I've ever heard, it was still incredibly difficult to put down.
