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.

I actually, rather grudgingly, have to give this a good rating. It's ridiculous, it's batshit crazy. It made me laugh at moments it shouldn't have *because* it was batshit crazy. But it did have me invested and the ending did actually get me. I wasn't expecting that. And the writing was good barring the profound amount of sex and absurdity.

From the first page I did not want to put this book down! It was thrilling and mysterious with a lot of plot twists. The ending was completely shocking and I cannot stop thinking about it! Loved this book and would 10/10 recommend.

What a unique plot. I have never read or heard of a story similar to this one. 

I loved how this was staged. A ghost writer who thinks the original writer is faking her paralysis. A manuscript that makes the original writer sound like a psychopath. A rocky past. I can’t decide if the original author is just really good at writing or a psychopath. I feel like she’s a psychopath, but I don’t know. I wish the ending was slower. I don’t like how Jeremy just kills Verity on spot. It was so quick. I get that the letter is supposed to 180 a-ha moment but I wish the turn around time between the two was slower or written differently.

I didn’t love the ending to this one, but the journey was good up until then. The really intense, there were a few times I had to put down the book because there were a few parts that were too
Viscerally upsetting.

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!!
