For most of the book, I was expecting to learn more about Sophie. Although Sophie still feels like a mystery to me, Delilah’s story made up for it. I really enjoyed Delilah’s character besides the parts in library, but then, the ending had me wanting more!

If you’re a fan of the series “You” or If you favor a dark MC this book is a good quick read. 

When I first started reading it it felt a lootttt like “You” (I couldn’t stop picturing the male lead as Joe for the entire book) but then it took a sharp turn 50ish pages in that solidified “I like this book” for me.

Admittedly I don’t read books very critically so I found all the twists and turns surprising and engaging (though in hindsight I can see how another person could have easily predicted the next step). The pace of the book was quick and the story progressed consistently. Sitting at a little over 300 pages I would say this was a quick and easy read. Kind of dark, but I enjoyed that.

Trigger Warnings: domestic abuse, blood, death, violence, stalking, drugs,  and suicide.
