It was good, don't get me wrong, but I definitely think it was overhyped. I didn't guess the twist but the moment you introduce supernatural/fantastical elements to a thriller I stop paying attention to how the author can outsmart me. It's fantasy, a fucking dragon could've dropped out of nowhere and I would've been like "guess that's happening now".
I still had fun reading it. It was good at being what it was: a thriller. However, I don't think it was as good as everyone made it seem.

I'm actually still hysterically laughing because of the ending. It's not that often that an ending actually gets me.
First I thought this would be a regular domestic thriller and I don't really like them that much. The whole cheating plot just annoyed me. But I loved the different perspectives and the feeling that there is something off. And then things got interesting when an element was introduced, I wasn't expecting. Luckily I love these kind of elements in books. When I got the vague idea what the title refers to at about 50% of the book, I was all invested. Hahaha, little did I know then. It blew my mind when I realised what the title actually means. And then again at the very end when I realised what it ACTUALLY actually means. I just think it's genius. The way everything is plotted and fits perfectly together at the end. That's my favourite thing in books. I love love LOVE how subtle all the hints were that you actually could never guess the ending but once you know it you see all those details flashing before your eyes. ;)
This book is definitely one of my all time favourites now.
