It was entertaining… there were a few twists, but slightly predictable. Use of memory loss/flashbacks.

— okay so i got this paperback at a warehouse sale a couple of months ago for free and that alone rubbed me the wrong way… i was kind of expecting this to be a disaster and it wasn’t!
an okayish thriller book that could even be rendered as good if it wasn’t for the excruciatingly slow pace in the first 200 pages… other than that the twists were so nice!

I didn't love this, pretty much thought it was okay. The characters weren't my favorite, but they weren't supposed to be particularly likable I don't think, so that makes sense, I did think they were interesting to follow, though. I don't tend to love flashbacks in mystery/thriller books, but the ones in this were mostly interesting. The whole amnesia trope is a bit overdone for me at this point, so I didn't love that element, however, I see why that trope is used and it did work for the story. I liked the ending of this, I didn't predict it! Overall, an okay read, and I will check out more Riley Sager in the future, especially since this was a debut.

Solid thriller. Thought I had this one pegged but was completely wrong.

I had heard a lot about Riley Sager since joining BookTok, so figured I'd try one of his books out. It was a decent book. It dragged a little in the middle and the story seemed a little incomplete, especially in regard to Sam's motivations and the development of her relationship with all the other characters (except for Quincy) felt incomplete. But overall, this was an enjoyable read

Ultimamente ando viciada na escrita do Riley Sager, o primeiro livro dele que li foi "A última mentira que contei" e foi uma leitura de tirar o fôlego.
Seus livros são mais sobre a jornada em si, do que sobre o final, apesar de ambos os finais terem me pego de surpresa.
Não é um livro que vai marcar a sua vida ou trazer grandes lições, mas é aquele entreterimento de qualidade que desperta a vontade de devorar as páginas.
A narrativa é tão envolvente que em alguns momentos parecem uma injeção de adrenalina. Confesso que ainda gostei mais de "A última mentira que contei" por causa da ambientação, mas o final desse livro é melhor.
Agora estou doida pra ler "Home Before Dark", "Lock every door" e "Sobreviva à noite".
Pra quem gosta de thriller é um autor que vale a pena incluir na lista de leitura.

Detta var en fantastisk bok, en bok jag inte visste att jag har längtat så länge på att läsa. Jag är helt mållös efter att ha läst ut boken. Jag hade mina teorier om vad som skulle hända/ eller vad som hade hänt, men jag hade helt fel. Helt chokad!
