Very gripping all the way to the end. Sadly I didn’t like the end but still didn’t take away the suspense

I REALLY enjoyed this book. Anytime a book surprises me and makes me gasp out loud is an instant win for me. However, so frustrated by the ending 😭 hoping there is another book to follow.

Very engaging—it was easy to feel compelled to keep reading. I thought I figured it out multiple times but was still surprised by the ending. I definitely liked The Silent Patient more (the characters and plot felt more fleshed out), but this was still a good thriller for me.

I really enjoyed this one and couldn’t stop listening to the audiobook. Didn’t see the plot twists coming at all.
