4.0

this was a WILD ride. every time you thought it was resolved it kept going and got crazier. the serial killer/main killer/writers were very michael meyers-esque. 

this book concept is GREAT. honestly, the thought that writing a 1 star review for a book can cause someone to hunt you down to kill you is chilling and makes me think twice...

but it was a thrilling ride, with great characterization, action, and motives. it was entertaining and you definitely kept reading to see wtf was going to happen. 

the audiobook was a nice touch with the other narrator for the male characters.

This book took me all over the place, and I loved it. Not too long, not too short, plenty of twists. I saw a lot of myself in Emma and I had a few visceral reactions. Highly recommend if you’re in a reading slump. Will be reading Adams’ No Exit asap
