Not my favorite by this author. Definitely no humor, but the plot was a lot more basic too. A YA version of “You”.

I think this book is okay, the pacing of events could’ve been better and the ending is very sudden but otherwise I think it’s worth reading.

SPOILERS AHEAD!!! I like: -the plot of the story: boy meets girl, boy stalks girl, girl gets revenge -the transition of the POVs switching was actually really good -the descriptions of locations in the book I did not like: -the pace: everything was rushed and a little disjointed,

we went from introduction to murder #1 and then a date that went left at the very end and then murder #2

-who is Sophie to Logan? Obviously not an ex, he was her rebound, their relationship is never established -

I wish Delilah took the librarian drug dealer down at the end, it would’ve been more satisfying

-the ending:

Delilah kills Logan and gets and alibi and then what? where’s the epilogue? I would’ve wanted to see her start at NUS

 I loved every page from start to finish!! The ending had me shocked! It’s literally the ending I kinda wished for and the details!! OMG! The ending felt a bit rushed but like in the best way because so much was happening at the end and things kept escalating until the end!! Also the metaphors she uses are so genius too! I loved to see the two point of views and I kept rooting for Delilah the whole time!!

This book was so interesting to read but could be very triggering for someone in a toxic relationship or has an abusive relationship. It also talks about sui...cide so just be very careful reading it.
