🇬🇧: 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

Maybe it was just my own personal ignorance, but I truly don't think I saw anything that happened in this book coming. I felt so utterly engaged with every turn of the page that I truly felt whiplash every time something new would happen.
I struggle a lot with books that don't have romance. I just, I don't know, it's in my nature to just want a happy ending. Which I think is why I struggle with enjoying thriller/mystery books. But this one had a very tiny romance subplot and it was just strong enough to have me not caring that there wasn't a ton of romance in this book.
This review has been all over the place but I end it by saying this: pick up this book. The only negative thing I have to say is that the first 40% or so is very slow-paced. I stuck it out and I am so glad I did because this might now be my favorite read of the year.
Riley Sager, I need you to make this book into a movie. It would truly and completely fix me.

Don't let all the content warnings I have listed scare you off. This book to me was no scarier than your average Criminal Minds episode. If you can handle true crime shows, you can handle this book.voltem's review against another edition
