WHAT. I am still reeling. Everything about this book has confused me but gripped me from literally start to finish. COLLEEN PLEASE WRITE MORE OF THESE?! I didn't think I liked thriller novels but I am so ready to pick up some more now. Amazing. First 5* review of 2022 and I'm excited.

Once I started reading I could barely stop. This was such an immersive experience, honestly. So frigging good. The best introduction I could have possibly had to Colleen Hoover!

I am going to add that I thought the sex scenes were a bit unnecessary at times; feel like it could have been shorter and less explicit.
