basicallyki's review against another edition
1.0
what was the point? that’s what i asked myself after every potential plot point was never discussed again. the sleep walking, the obsession from three separate characters, the “is the husband a creep”, the “is the child a psycho” and everything else that was mentioned once and never again.
the twist was decent but the reaction to it and what came of it ruined it. jeremy and lowen are terrible people throughout the entire book and not once was a rooting for them individually or as a couple. every single character needs therapy and i fully believe the the author does too. her exploitation of trauma is weird, the anti choice throughout the book is excessive and impossible to ignore.
honestly i could rant forever and i’ve missed a lot of points i wanted to make in this review but i’m sure there are better ones out there that can explain it more thoroughly than i can because i want to put my phone down and forget everything about this awful experience.
over all if felt like a waste of my time. i’ve read one other book by her and after reading them both i won’t be picking up another.
