These are the types of reviews I hate writing because I go into every book ready to love it. This is also my third Stacy Willingham book. I absolutely loved one and thought the other was just meh so I was really excited to read this one to see where I stand.

Well it looks like the first one I loved may have been a fluke because this was the most generic thriller I’ve read in a long time. The entire time I was thinking how Ruth Ware did it better with “The It Girl,” but also the it girl trope is just so exhausting. This TRIED to do something with that idea but most of the book was just our main character whining about the past and then whining about the current day. She was wholly uninteresting to follow and the end was pretty predictable which is unfortunate. The ending honestly just made me mad which is why this gets a 1 star.
