Didn't love the content and hated the ending. The writing is engaging though, and it was a quick read.

🇳🇱: Dit boek was een ander soort thriller dan verwacht. In het begin vond ik hem erg oppervlakkig. Ik had niet het idee dat ik een thriller las. Later werd dit duidelijker. Het is niet echt een thriller vol gebeurtenissen, maar vooral de vibe is spannend. Je zit de hele tijd te wachten op actie die uitgesteld wordt. Ik had de hele tijd al het idee wat het plot zou zijn, maar het einde had ik zeker niet verwacht.  Voordat je in dit boek begint zou ik wel de trigger warnings lezen, want die kunnen vrij heftig zijn!

🇬🇧: 
    This book was a different kind of thriller than expected. At first I thought he was very superficial. I didn't feel like I was reading a thriller. This became clearer later. It is not really a thriller full of events, but the vibe is especially exciting. You spend the whole time waiting for action to be postponed. I had an idea all along what the plot would be, but I certainly didn't expect the ending. Before you start this book, I would read the trigger warnings, because they can be quite intense!

This was so shocking. I did not see the plot twist coming and I don’t know if it’s because it was that good or I’m just stupid but overall this book was incredibly disturbing and yet I really enjoyed it and would reread.
