0.75

The first 75% was frustrating, but at least competent as far as a domestic thriller goes. The last 25% was however shaping up to be a very solid ending—the last scene, where there’s a second twist, however, ruined it for me.

The narrative clearly showed Richard as a manipulative, garbage husband, and I find the concept of Chloe’s motivation ridiculous; that was part of why I disliked the first 75%, but the way the ending with her grandmother nails it in is ridiculous. Overall, it makes Chloe feel like a weird misogynistic caricature. There’s also a lot of ableist sentiment throughout the book from pretty much every character. In particular, as someone who has been institutionalized and traumatized by it, the lense used to portray Chloe as having to either have been evil or falsely sent there was very stigmatizing and just kind of hurt.

Wow. WOW. WOWW.

I have no words to really describe the rollercoaster of emotions that I went through while reading this book! It's a proper mind boggler, to say the least.

While the reader may start formulating who the villain is, it's impossible to really know until the very end.

Probably one of the best paychological thrillers I've EVER read!

HIGHLY recommend this fast-paced page turner if you're interested in this genre.

This book was a good, fun, interesting read that kept me guessing until the end. I wouldn’t call it a masterpiece by any means or even one of the best thrillers, but it’s a great read for spooky season. And a good palette cleanser

Had a lot of feelings of frustration and confusion reading this book, but I kept wanting to read more. I needed to read how it ended.

I will say that Joanne was just too naive for her own good at times. Richard was a dick every time he sided with Chloe during an argument between the three of them. Still had a fun time reading this twisty thriller.
