I don't know if I loved this entry in this genre. The style and structure was to die for but it was too up in the air and it never came down.

❗️Major Spoilers❗️

I wanted Josie to get caught. Then the truth was revealed in a hazy epilogue?

A good ride but I don't know if I'll be reading more thriller mysteries soon. It was a thrill though.

I would give it a lower score but I might just not like this genre so I bumped it up lol.

Good book! It keeps you reading bc you want to know what is true and what isn’t. It is very disturbing and creepy/unsettling as Josie shares her story and as Alix learns the truth. Kind of disappointed that Josie is never found/caught. But the book ends well! It’s interesting how the story moves along between how it actually unfolded. , recording the podcast and the Netflix show. It is a dark book with some very violent and disturbing scenes, some parts are kind of underdeveloped (like Brooke and Roxy or Erin and Roxy), but the story moves along well. I would recommend this one
