the twist, holy shit

This book is so good! If you ignore the obvious patient/client violations, this story is so well written. I loved it from start to finish, completely dedicated an entire afternoon to reading this book from start to finish! I'm so so glad I read this, 0.25 stars off simply for the unrealistic patient/client relationship and privileges that would seriously never fly irl

If you liked “you” on Netflix this would fit your vibe

Go quick thriller that has you thinking on every part. Who did what or who could have done what

I LOVED this psychological thriller. Gives me vibes of “The Sinner”. Very very good with a plot twist you’ll never see coming

dark emotional mysterious medium-paced

3.75

Started slow and then once everything began falling into place it was crazy. This was a lot ab the tropes and challenges and relational intricacies of marriage which i have no experience to relate to.

I can’t believe he stayed w Kathy. I was so sus of everyone in this book and it ended up being freaking alecia provoked by theo.
