fast-paced

1.5

it gets half a star for at least being the fastest i have ever read a book bc unfortunately i could not put it down. the most criminal aspect of this thriller was how so many people recommended it to me as "so good!" with not an ounce of shame or sarcasm. what the actual fuck

antivancrowe's review

It just felt like a lot of straight nonsense, I didn't like how quickly Verity and Jeremy had sex and like all the time? Then Verity started to talk about fat people really grossly and it left a bad taste in my mouth. I can understand why people like Colleen Hoover as she is really easy to read, but I am not a fan.

This book was hard to put down. I read it very quickly. The premise was interesting but the characters were not likable. The main character feels much younger than she's supposed to be. I really did not like the ending.
