Isolating yourself from the world, escaping into any book you can put your hands on (relatable), can only be sustainable for so long. In your solitude, imagine having the unfortunate circumstance of coming across an absolute incel with psychotic tendencies with no way to escape...

Read this book in one sitting. It was incredibly fast-paced and gripping, with scattered plot twists that only increased my enjoyment of this book. I will say that the jumpiness in the writing between the different perspectives was confusing at times, as there was no indication of change, but I eventually picked up on it and I can see how this was a very intentional choice. I absolutely loved seeing two sides of the same story from incredibly drastic perspectives. It added to the tension as well as showing how something can be manipulated so easily. It makes you question what the reality in this situation is also, especially with the jumping perspectives.

It's a mega mind fuck and I am all here for it- would recommend it if you're in the market for a fast pace thriller to quite literally blaze through.

Synopsis: Emma house-sitting a beach house gives a one-star review and the author gets mad and comes after her.

Don't go for this book reading the synopsis. It doesn't even explain 50% of the book. This book is extremely bizarre with weird twists and turns at the end. The twists are unbelievable like yeah, they don't seem believable at all. The book didn't pull me in unfortunately. The starting was boring. I was bored for 50-60% of the book. There are very few thrilling parts in the first half of the book. The chase between the author and Emma is stretched for way too long. I normally finish a 350 pages book in 1.5 days but I took almost a week as I just didn't want to pick it up.
