I feel like there’s not a lot I can say without either misleading people or giving things away. There are some pretty wild twists, including one that took the story I thought I’d been reading and turned it on its head and made me re-evaluate everything I’d read up to that point. I was feeling so-so about the book up until that point – Jane's narration made me uneasy – but from that point on I loved it, so if you’re on the fence about it I can recommend sticking with it until part 3. The book also provides an interesting exploration of sociopathy, obsession, and toxic friendship. I will say that if you don’t like books with an unlikeable narrator/main character, this is not the book for you. This story is rife with them.
4.5 stars, rounded down to 4.
Representation: POC characters, characters with mental illness
CW: Toxic friendship, obsessive and psychopathic first-person narration

This is was a whirlwind, always kept on the edge of what's to come. A brilliant read.
