I’ve put off reading this book for a while but ended up finishing it in one day because I was so hooked! Plot twists galore and so many times my breath was held in anticipation!

I absolutely loved the ending. It was so satisfying seeing everything be revealed and the way everything ended up working out. I hated Oliver so much though and I was hoping he would die the whole time while reading this book.

Holy shit this book was good. Like whew Holly ya really cooked with this one. I mean from the constant fixation on random stuff to the foreshadowing of stuff from the very beginning, this really was a good thriller mystery. Also the way

I so wanted Oliver to die but in my head being like “nah he’s too nasty to not live” and then him actually dying? ✨Perfect✨

By the way, Red really had me scared for a moment there. Although her talking again with her mom was sweet and all, it was also devastating. Luckily she pushed through.
