What a twist! I should know what to expect from Riley Sager by now, but it always catches me off guard. Loved this one.

Loved all the twists and turns, but I’m not sure the

was necessary or explained that well. Also don’t think alcohol/alcoholism needed to be featured as heavily (felt like every page) for readers to understand the point.
