This wasn’t as good as the other books I’ve read by the same authors. Somehow the story wasn’t as thrilling. But still an okay book.

This isn't my usual read - the content can be triggering but I definitely kept reading and was involved int he story. If you are looking for a dark psychological thriller/mystery, this is for you.

This was an interesting plot. I did a lot of these studies in college, so it was interesting considering how much info we share with who we consider experts and with therapists. The writing was as usual a little over-explainy, but that helps when the ol' brain is at capacity.  Was wondering if the author had sensitivity readers for disability for this one. I really wasn't into the present tense narration.

Definitely a twisty read, but the ending fell a bit flat. I definitely think this book could’ve been about 50-100 pages shorter. They story could be a bit hard to follow, but it was still entertaining

Kept me reading until the middle where it really kicked in. I couldn’t help myself but try to anticipate what was going to happen, but I didn’t until it was basically happening. I like the POV switches and short chapters.
