I'll admit that I was initially hesitant going in and it did start off slightly silly with the way the 'movies' in her head were described, but it made more sense the further in it gets, and I don't think there's anything wrong with a little bit of silliness in a thriller. It was fun, it was fast and tense throughout, and well paced in how the story was told. The plot drove the story but the characters definitely added to it and I enjoyed spending time in our main characters head.
Overall I really good time, a solid thriller, and I'm really glad I read it despite the negative reviews.

Truly couldn't stand the first half of the book. The main character ignored all of the red flags, and then, when she found out certain information,
I was reeled back in by the second half though. Less 'screaming at the girl running up the stairs instead of out the front door' vibes. More plot

Riley Sager takes us on another wild ride full of twists we saw coming and several that came out of nowhere.
I’d label this more of a horror/thriller rather than mystery/thriller like his other books.

🇬🇧: a good book with the necessary tension. A lot happens and the writing makes it easy to read. I didn't see the plot coming, even though I often notice it. I could hardly put the book down the last two days, it was so exciting. It is also an original concept. I did find the films in her head a bit confusing, I no longer knew what was real and what was not. Because so much was happening, I sometimes lost track. All in all a good book with cutting tension
