Ummm. I’m not sure how to feel? It was okay, but the ending was a bit lackluster.

Good twist that Nina was being crazy to try and get out, but the whole thing with the room felt like it could have been done better.

Not quite sure that any of the characters were very likable.

Gives me Gone Girl vibes from 10 years ago. Good pacing, definitely didn’t drag on. For anyone concerned for spice - everything is FtB.

With all of the previews swirling for this movie I thought I'd give the book a read and I'm glad I did. I had a feeling I knew where it was going but it ended differently than I had expected, which was a nice shift. I would recommend this to anyone who likes mysteries with surprise endings.
