Very dark, there is obviously a mental health concern with this main character.  I had a hard time following the plot of this book.  Around 89% in, she does something horrible that resulted in me giving the book 2 stars

I kinda hated this book but I also couldn't stop reading it. It's not a thriller. More like one big character study of a psycho woman. Nothing really happens and the end is pretty anticlimactic. The writing is good and it's a quick read. But the author's second book is definitely better.

This book was less thriller and mystery and more of a deep dive into the female main character's psyche. She had some serious stalker tendencies along with an imagination that would run wild and cross over into fantasy land before you know it. I loved being in the head of this unhinged woman. Although her thoughts were extreme, I felt like everyone could find a way to relate to some of her rants. I flew through this book so quickly. Great writing.

I don’t know that this book feels particularly like a mystery or thriller. It was a story I didn’t feel like I’d read exactly before, a fun take on an extremely parasocial and obsessive relationship. I simultaneously felt incredibly sorry for the narrator for the clear mistreatment by her husband and her apparently lack of a real community to support her in any trouble but also she was a little crazy. The author did a good job of making her descent slow and foreshadowed wells
