Ehhhhhh! This book had a super interesting plot and premise, but I could not get past the cringe writing and dialogue at times. The last forth of the book was also just okay compared to the interesting baseline plot of the Chain. Once the second half of the book started I guessed the "twist" right away, unfortunately.

The premise was intriguing (not very realistic tho), and the first half was better than the second half. At 60% I was ready for the book to be over, it definitely was longer than it needed to be.

I enjoyed this one a lot. It hooked me from the start and while I predicted the plot twist, I really liked the book still! Would recommend if you like psychological thrillers.
