I thought the plot of The Venue was such a good idea, but for me, the follow-through didn't quite hit the mark. I think the book would come across more coherently on the screen as opposed to the page. I found the characters to be inconsistent in their actions and particularly their dialogue, for example Amy speaking to Caleb could have been a completely different person to when she was speaking to other characters.

*Side-eyeing this entire book!! *

This is what happens with people with money don’t deal with pass traumas. Lol. Therapy is ok! There is nothing wrong with seeking help!

best book i’ve read in a hot minute. i couldn’t stop reading & i feel a little disturbed by some of the descriptions

this was such a unique concept and i was gripped from the start. a film adaption of this would be incredible. for better or for worse, every scene played vividly in my head. it would of been a 5 star without that epilogue, and the quote about the sign at the end completely took me out of the story. it’s a funny quote though…
