Holy cow! You may think you have it figured out but at most you are only fractionally correct. This book had me guessing the whole time, including questioning what was real. Sager has done it again and kept the twists coming. I loved the ending and felt it tied up the story perfectly.

It was a little slow in the first half and I found the main character a little irritating. But the second half had me laughing, crying, sweating, screaming, you name it! I did pick up on one of the major twists but I enjoyed the “ride” regardless! Such a good book!!

The first 3/4 of this book was slow. The plot twists were nicely done. There are 3 major plot twists: the first was a good twist, the second was kind of meh, but the third....I literally gasped out loud. I'm good at figuring stuff out early in books but this third twist threw me and that is the main reason I rated the book as high as I did. I rate books based on how entertained I was and the fact that an author could make me gasp took it from a 3 star to a 4 star. But I wouldn't recommend it just for that twist. Overall, it was about a 3.

This was my first Riley Sager. 

I’ve heard of them before, as I’m a lover of all things creepy and unnerving. I knew going in that their books are surface level and meant to give you a good time while in your hands. In that regard, I’d say it sort of did that. 

The plot was fine. It was a little silly and I felt at times that it took itself too seriously. The writing was alright, and I think because of that it made this thriller a bit lackluster. 

Despite my rating and feelings, I’ll still pick up a Sager in my future when I feel the need to cut out from the world and just focus on something silly.
