A fun book! There are some serious trigger warnings I strongly suggest everyone read to see if they can handle reading the book. I can't lie

the self harm scenes were difficult for me to read, but they happened rarely enough that my experience wasn't completely hindered by their presence

. Beyond that, I though the book was fun, which is strange to say considering the material in the book, but the book kept a rather light tone. There were quite a few turns, some I definitely did not expect and some that were a little more obvious. I enjoyed Amaya. I thought the representation of her intrusive thoughts, and OCD I presume, was good and rather true to life.

Kinda like Dial A for Aunties but trying to be darker. ._. I think I didn't have much patience for this though I did get it in the end.

WOW! This thriller was amazing. 
Kept me guessing the entire time. I thought one thing about one character for the next chapter to reveal something else. I was for sure on my toes reading this. 
Loved the big Sri Lankan wedding as well and all the family and aunty drama 🫢
