The fact that no one killed Kelly - when I would've happily volunteered! - is a disappointment I cannot get over. She had one brain cell and it was barely even interested in keeping her conscious. The stupidity of this woman, I cannot. She literally just spent the entire book latching on to the last thing out of people's mouths and going: that must be the truth! About absolutely anything! Every time! And, honey, no, it was just the last thing you heard, those aren't the same things, you pretty little idiot. Sabrina going, 'you just go along with everything!' YES, that is, in fact, your entire personality and you should be embarrassed about that and yet somehow you don't seem to be??? I didn't even care who did it or why or any of the plot by the time we started getting answers, I just wanted to get out of this stupid woman's head because it was PAINFUL to be in it.
Yikes, this one was a miss! If I hadn't received an ARC, I would have definitely DNF-ed. Instead, I found myself skimming through. The first 2/3 is an excessively steamy throuple romance, and the last 1/3 is a haphazard thriller-esque wannabe. I found it difficult to relate to or care about any of the characters, and the plot itself to be just a bit too...wildly unrealistic? Relatable for the majority of readers? By the time the drama came around at the end, I hadn't formed any connections to the characters to be drawn in to the plot.

I was pleasantly surprised by this - the twists and turns were kind of fun, and set against the backdrop of the pandemic with an unreliable narrator kept me turning the pages until the very end. The last fifty or so pages were fairly unhinged, but ya know, I enjoyed myself. There was also a welcome and pleasant level of spice which I could appreciate.
I really wanted to love this book. I liked parts of it, but definitely didn’t love it. I enjoyed “The Herd” by the same author, so I went into this one with high expectations.
The book starts out with Kelly going to stay with a childhood acquaintance after her and her fiancé decide to take a break. It felt that Kelly had a change of heart too quickly and developed new/rejected old feelings without any development. The plot had a handful of eyeroll moments that didn’t feel believable.
This book was too long and feels like it drags on in multiple places. The story was fun in some parts but not very engaging overall. It definitely picked up in the last third.
The MC, Kelly was not too likeable to me, but I did l enjoy her cat Virgo.

A twisty thriller. There is a lot of sex and it is a throuple so I wouldn’t recommend to my mom, but the story line was good. No super likable characters and I thought it could have been a tad shorter.
