The Dive

This was 4 stars up until the epilogue. Super fun and dark and twisty vacation vibes with a lot of individual back stories without getting bogged down in it. Going to spoiler out the rest of my review just in case.
The epilogue was honestly not totally shocking and very realistic because of course that scummy ass man is behind it all but at the same time so disappointing. Like I read fiction books to escape reality, not be reminded of real life men are monsters and get away with it. I’m so sad for Brooke, she finally is trusting a man after so fucking much trauma and he’s piece of shit Neil. Again if we’re realistic, it tracks but I don’t want to be!! I would’ve been happy if any of the women were the actual killer. Greta doing it all was wild and I loved that but spinning it back to Neil was gross and I hated it so much it lost a star lol.

This one was pretty good. The twist caught me by surprise but there were so many characters from so many different places that at times I struggled to keep them sorted.

It was hard to get into in the beginning, but then it hooked me. I didn’t see the ending coming.

This book did not make any sense!

All in all an interesting and page turning thriller. I liked all the mini mysteries within the story for each of the characters. I thought the ending felt a tad rushed but otherwise, would recommend for a nice, quick thriller

Update: spare yourself and DO NOT read the epilogue, it ruins the entire book for myself personally, so I just pretend it does not exist
