What started as a mediocre thriller with a decent premise took absolutely ridiculous turns in the second half. And not in a fun way. The story could have been ridiculous but thrilling, with the opportunity for an interesting cat and mouse game. But the writing is just lazy, the plot twists make no sense, the bad guys are laughable, and the final ending... I don't wanna spoil it, but let's just say Charlie went all in for the grand finale of stupid, stupid life choices.
This was my second Riley Sager book and it was even worse than Final Girls, so I think I should just call it quits.

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.
