I didn't know what to expect going in, I've really liked Riley Sager in the past but I've also heard some not so great reviews about this one of his. I did however end up really enjoying it.

I'll admit that I was initially hesitant going in and it did start off slightly silly with the way the 'movies' in her head were described, but it made more sense the further in it gets, and I don't think there's anything wrong with a little bit of silliness in a thriller. It was fun, it was fast and tense throughout, and well paced in how the story was told. The plot drove the story but the characters definitely added to it and I enjoyed spending time in our main characters head. 

Overall I really good time, a solid thriller, and I'm really glad I read it despite the negative reviews.

🇳🇱: een goed boek met de nodige spanning. Er gebeurt heel veel en door de schrijfwijze lees je hem zo weg. Ik zag het plot niet aankomen , ondanks dat ik dat vaak wel in de gaten heb. Ik heb het boek de laatste twee dagen amper weg kunnen leggen zo spannend was het. Het is ook een orgineel concept. Wel vond ik de films in haar hoofd zelf wat verwarrend, ik wist zelf niet meer wat echt was en niet. Doordat er zoveel gebeurde raakte ik soms ook de draad kwijt. Al met al een goed boek met snijdende spanning


 ðŸ‡¬ðŸ‡§: a good book with the necessary tension. A lot happens and the writing makes it easy to read. I didn't see the plot coming, even though I often notice it. I could hardly put the book down the last two days, it was so exciting. It is also an original concept. I did find the films in her head a bit confusing, I no longer knew what was real and what was not. Because so much was happening, I sometimes lost track. All in all a good book with cutting tension
