Where are all these rave reviews coming from I swear did we read the same book,,, None of the side plot threads came together and the reveal was superficial and cheap. The first part of the book was sufficiently spooky, but then the plot is so slow and reveals come out of nowhere. Her brother in law being infatuated w her? Mark's whole character is irrelevant, Laura /booklover101 even less so. The themes around privacy/social media are never actually fully explored or realised considering who the intruder ends up being. The epilogue is abrupt and out of place. You're telling me Flynn couldn't come to terms w the big initial lie to the point they were getting a divorce, but was perfectly fine after this whole situation?! Pass.
