I love the premise of this book. I love the crazy ass crime that happened. Ive Never read anything like this. Also, the place where serial killers are placed is so creepy. I can never step or even work there.
But Why is Connie so annoying? Why is she interviewing patients in rooms that are not safe? She’s so ballsy. It’s so annoying haha

My anxiety was through the roof when she was gaslighted by everyone that she’s crazy. This is always the troupe with mental institutions. And it’s crazy that even a highly professional can be gaslit by everyone in the institution. I mean it’s such a cliche.

Still, I was invested and wanted to know the ending. I doubt the baby would have survived in real life. But that’s the ending I wanted too hahaa. Can’t bear reading a book where the infant died even if it’s fiction.
