So caveat on this review, I was spoiled in the twist years ago and just finally got around to reading it, so I think that played a factor in my enjoyment in it. I actually found myself enjoying it more after the plot twist, but I don’t think I found a myself liking either main character much, which I guess was a lesson that I do prefer to like the MC? It didn’t help that I realized not to the same degrees but I had a set of grandparents very much like Nick and Amy and who boy that was a weird realization to have. So yeah, good plot, lots of twists and turns, just really hard to like either one. I know the book is part of the #goodforher trope, but…I dunno, I didn’t fully buy it.

I liked the writing but I ended up feeling like this book was overhyped. The characters were completely unlikable for me and the book ended up just being kind of meh. I never really wanted to put it down but that's mostly because I was at work and it was keeping my mind engaged from work stuff.
