Wtf
dark fast-paced

Weak ending. Did not find the main characters believable at all. Also content warning: the book takes the stance that some women who were raped "got what was coming to them." There's a related philosophy in the book that, by letting someone do something bad to you, you're really doing something to them, because they become bad from what you let them do. The writing was decent, but I did not care for the plot, characters, or themes, so yeah, not for me at all.

this is an horror book man

3.5

actually, i think i might like this a LIL bit more than gone girl

i want to give this book five stars, i really do, but i can't... I'm still torn between giving it 3.5⭐ or 4⭐.
i loved the story, i loved the writing style and was so invested in what happened and who did it that it was hard for me to put it down. and if i had more free time and wasn't exhausted from work it wouldn't have taken me so long to finish this book. i had my suspects from the beginning till the end and was quite right, but the plot twist at the end caught me off guard.
the only reason i am not rating it five stars is because i disliked almost all characters and found them really annoying. overall i really enjoyed this book, not sure if I'll ever read it again, but I am glad i read it.
