Honestly it took me way too many braincells to comprehend what happened in this book but once I got it it totally fucked with my head. This is a thriller/horror that is purely psychological, and I loved how uneasy and tense the entire book was. Just a complete mind fuck.

This book fucked me and I didn’t even understand it.
Once I decide to add a book to my TBR, I download it on my Kindle. Then when I need a new book, I just pick one that’s already downloaded without looking up the description again. This did not help my case with this book.
At first, I thought it was a cute romantic novel, then when they get to the school, maybe true crime? Then slowly but surely, it changed. I didn’t notice it at first, but I was hyper aware that I was flinching at every fly, a slight breeze moving the trees scared me, and when the neighbors cat jumped over the fence, my blood felt cold and my heart didn’t stop racing for a few minutes. And that’s when I realized it MUST be a horror book.
I clung on to every word, scared to skip ahead even the tiniest bit. And I still have no idea what happened. Not just in the book either. I was shellshocked for a bit, and then when I got up to go inside and refresh, all of a sudden nothing felt real. I was questioning my whole day; what time was it? Nothing felt okay until a few hours later when someone else came home and I could have a conversation with them.
Our minds are a terrible place - and they’re even worse when you’re alone.
I don’t ever want to read this book again. But I think I have to.
4.5/5

i didn’t understand the ending. I didn’t understand the middle. i understood the flow from city to parents house to school, but i have no clue how the phone calls and the brother have to play into the boyfriend (killing?) her or stalking her. it didn’t work for me.
