3.5. Flynn kicks off this one with a wild paragraph about handjobs and it doesn’t really slow down from there. The middle was spooky and I enjoyed it but the twists at the end gave me whiplash and not in a fun way. It felt like Flynn couldn’t make up her mind.

This book is so fast-paced and takes more twists than a pretzel. You never know what’s coming next!
