I really really liked this thriller, it was an absolute rollercoaster from start to finish. Even though I did know the nature of the twist because I read a review not tagged as a spoiler, I still couldn't completely figure out how that played into it all and I kept questioning if that was really the twist.
I was on my toes until the end, and actually gasped out loud at a couple of the twists. I fell right into the trap Riley Sager left and once I realised I had, I was absolutely mind blown and couldn't realise how I didn't pick up on it earlier, which I felt was a result of how subtly Sager wove it into the story. Everything felt like it should've been obvious when it was revealed but most of it I didn't pick up on at the time, which makes a good thriller in my eyes.
There's not much to say about this book that isn't a spoiler, but if you like thrillers with good twists, even if they are a little unrealistic, then this is for you!
I would've liked the ending to be a little more ambiguous and I think we could've done without the last twist, even though it did tie together a few of the loose ends. This was relatively minor in the end, though, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time reading this book.
Here's to reading all of Riley Sager's back list now, too!
