I don't think I've ever given a thriller 5 stars before, but here we are. This was funny, gripping and addicting. I feel the ending may have been a tad rushed, but not enough to knock it down a star. Grandma is the best!! <3

Very quick read, easy to follow. This book did have me hooked for the first 200-250 pages. However, when there was about 60 pages left, I felt it dragging on. The conclusion was unsatisfying and felt very rushed yet somehow drug out. It was like the author decided who did it 250 pages in and had to quickly tie it to that character. I thought there was an unnecessary amount of sexually explicit scenes. Some are okay but it became tacky quickly, especially one of the later ones (you know which one if you’ve read it). 

Overall, it was okay. Two stars for the first 200-250 pages but the last 100ish just didn’t work.

So good. I had been reading so much hype about this, and I was surprised when it was (for me) a little slow to begin! But it became so addictive so quickly - such good character building and detailed thoroughness in the plot and world, too. I love a thriller that is also a little sexy, and also one where the victims and narrators are complicated/imperfect, and this is awesome on both counts. And - so amazingly unexpected in all the turns and shocks, right down to the end - I loved it!!

Maybe i’m easy, but i enjoyed this book 🤷🏻‍♀️ a lot of comments  on goodreads were quick  to judge the female characters being “sluts” but not the men being whole ass abusers. this entire book kept me turning page after page and on the edge of my seat. the ending with who they caught, but then the conversation with the grandma?? i don’t know what to believe!!!

an interesting “whodunnit” story that sadly continues to highlight violence against women used as a plot point. the story telling style is what gives this a higher rating, i enjoyed how it was a back and forth with the podcast as a means of progressing the story forward. are there stories that don’t involve violence against women as a plot point?
