Almost DNF bc it was so slow at the beginning but several reviews said after the first third of the book, it gets better. And yes it did! Well written. The characters were unlikable imo but I just wanted to see what happened. I’m glad I stuck it out!!

I was pretty interested in the story, the intersections of their lives & how it would end up. There were some twists I didn’t see, but the ending was wholly unsatisfying. And the reasoning for it was just lazy. There were plot holes that, if included, would have made for a different ending but it’s like the author purposely left out things we already knew just to fabricate their ideal ending, which is why I only gave it 3*. Not to spoil anything so I’ll be vague but the cops say they can’t charge anyone with a crime because the person they think did it says I wasn’t there. That person sent a text to someone else literally saying I’m outside (crime scene), take your time, but this is never mentioned in the interrogation, when the cops had the receivers phone & obviously went through it. The cops are all like welp you said you weren’t there so I guess that’s the end of the investigation lol

Also, unreliable narrator alert.

Excuse me while I pick up my jaw from the floor. This book was so cleverly written and full of juicy secrets you just can’t wait to uncover. I do think it starts off a little slow but once things get a little ✨spicy✨ the pace keeps up until the end. I love a book with characters you love to hate and this one has a few.. I won’t say anymore and give anything away. I loved everything about it and it’s been a while since a book has engrossed me like this one did. Highly recommend if you haven’t read it yet!
