This was a good bingeable read, fast paced and some surprise twists. This kept me entertained but I wasn’t keen on the ending 🤷🏼‍♀️

DID NOT FINISH: 23%

I was trying a different genre - something I wouldn’t usually read and it just didn’t grip me. I made a promise to myself this year that I wouldn’t struggle with a book.

3.5 ⭐️

I love a domestic thriller. And this one had a few unexpected turns which I was here for.

Here’s the thing, if someone from high school starting messaging me I would be 100 % sure it was because they wanted to sell me something from an MLM. I would not be thinking they missed me and wanted to rekindle something and immediately jump into a weird texting relationship. That felt like a stretch for me. Also the texting vocab for the age of the characters seemed off.

However, it was twisty and a quick read and I hit a few points when I didn’t want to put it down.

Thank you firefly book distribution for the book 🤍
