i did not really like the ending but i did enjoy reading the book the ending just felt rushed i thought i was really going to like the book but idk i need some time to reflect on it

reflecting and watching some reviews on this book just makes me understand why i love reading it but hated the ending the process of reading it was fun and fast but the ending was too rushed like the parts just didn’t make sense how he knew where the gun was how he did this to alica but it was actually all the past including his wife cheating idk it doesn’t add up especially with all the people you learn about for no reason

I liked this book but really only once I was already halfway through. I felt the first half moved slowly and I struggled to stay interested. However, it quickly picked up the pace and I struggled to put it down. I think the twist was good,

kept the characters relatively redeemable and it wasn’t as scary as I sorta expected
