My medical degree gave away the plot twist before it was even suspected by the FMC

@ the ending: i don’t even know which is the truth and that low key pisses me off because if you’ve going to deceive me the whole time at least tell me if you actually did or not. 

I’m choosing to believe the manuscript. Psychos for the win.

This was a solid 3.5 star read until the ending. I love the ending a lot. It's one thing to have a plot twist, but this is of a whole other world. I am speechless; highly recommend this one!!

the plot twist at the end was INSANE i was totally not expecting it.

the book was an easy read. Had a lot of emotional parts so definitely take heed of the disclaimers and trigger warnings before reading. It definitely is one of my favorites of Collen Hoover's. The characters and interesting and I enjoyed the way the story unfolded. This book was hard to put down !
