The ending kept me on the tip of my seat. Butt I had a difficult time liking the characters or feeling the things the book wanted me to feel for them.

I can always slam through a Colleen Hoover book, even though I'm aware of the formula so I know when a twist is coming even if not specifically what the twist is. I can't put it down, yet it's nothing that feels special. This one though was just tough because it was so dark, it wasn't really enjoyable though it was engrossing.

Triggers were too much, too dark for me.

Wow…

Now I get the hype over Hoover’s books. This was addicting, fast paced, and suspenseful. I had so many theories, each one squashed with a new chapter. I really enjoyed the mystery and thrill of this story, and will definitely be thinking about the characters and questioning the truth for weeks to come.

 Debo decir que me encanta cómo escribe. La ambientación es espectacular.
Me ha dado miedo en ocasiones, cosa que no me esperaba en absoluto, pero muy muy bien.
Se lee a gran velocidad porque el misterio te engancha y los capítulos cortos siempre te hacen pensar "sólo uno más antes de dormir" y de pronto son las cuatro de la mañana.


Es cierto que el final se me ha quedado un poco ahí ahí, porque siendo sincera, era lo que esperaba desde el principio.
Igual si no hubiese leído ya algún libro donde la historia escrita en un diario fuese inventada, me habría sorprendido más, pero desde el mismo principio estaba sospechando.
Realmente yo pensaba que quizá incluso la biografía la había escrito el marido, que me pareció muy sospechoso, sobre todo porque toda la autobiografía estaba muy centrada en su pene.
Cosa que también aclara Verity en su carta "no estaba tan obsesionada", la verdad me hizo gracia.

A todo esto, estoy ignorando el supuesto capítulo extra. No existe. Fin de la discusión.
Me gusta el final abierto tal cual está porque tú decides al final quién dice la verdad y es muy interesante, porque "qué razones hay para creer a Verity? Qué razones hay para no hacerlo??"

Podemos hablar de lo creepy que es el niño sin necesidad??? No, en serio, pensé que incluso era psicópata con las escenas de los cuchillos...
 
 

En fin, que yo creo que le doy 3,5 estrellas, no está malote, pero le ha faltado un algo. 

Y sí lo recomiendo mucho, porque se pasa un buen rato. No es el mejor thriller que he leído, pero la pasé bien.
;)
