3.75

Sebenrnya idenya bagus banget gila. Volunteer layanan yg seharusnya mencegah penelponya bunuh diri tapi tokoh utamanya malah menggunakan itu untuk bujuk orang bunuh diri.

Cuma aku ga suka cara penulisannya. Terlalu bertele tele dengan detail yg kurang terasa penting. 

Enggak deh.. Mungkin detail nya penting tp penulisannya ga bisa buat aku attach sama detail detail tersebut. Sehingga setengah buku pertama tuh bosen banget. Apalagi pov dari Laura, rasanya mau skip aja tp penting detailnya, ya tapi kok ngebosenin. hufthh 😞

Baru mulai seru ketika setengah buku terakhir. Plot twistnya juga ga gimana gimana cuma memang membagongkan.
Dan Ending yg aku ga puasssss. Huhu.

Tapi memang thrilling bnget sih baca buku ini tuh, berhasil buat aku gedeg sendiri, gregetan sendiri dari awal ampe akhir.

jellyhavana's review against another edition

Honestly just got boring reading the whole start of the book again. Then read a plot summary and was glad I didn’t waste my time on an unnecessarily twisty thriller.

cookieclutter's review against another edition

While I was enjoying the book, I

had a suspicion the ending would not pay out for the amount of mind games being played between the characters. It was getting in the way of me enjoying the book so I glanced at the last few chapters and decided it was not worth continuing. I wasn't necessarily wanting a happy ending, more so wanting to see Laura getting her just deserts but I didn't feel that happened so I decided to DNF

. Not sure if any of those were spoilers but it was a major factor for me DNF this book.
