wildflower_magic's review against another edition

I didn't like the writing style. I felt like there were many contraditions within the characters that felt super unrealistic. They had no character- no consistency as a person. I also felt like the writing pulled me away from the story in many areas. The amount of times the main character admitted she was making stupid choices and said something alone the lines of "I briefly wonder what the horror movie they'll make about this will be named" or "i wonder what they'll say in the true crime documentary they'll make about my death" but then kept doing the thing anyway was way too high in the first 30%. Overall I know a lot of people love this book but it wasn't for me.

Holy hell, this book is so freaking good, but also very dark and very triggering, but nothing I couldn't get through because of the sensitive topic that's happening in the book highly recommend if you like dark romances, but also will slightly make you sad definitely check your triggers ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for this book.

I thought this book was so interesting I ain’t gonna lie. At first I was a bit shocked and taken aback by how graphic it was but it made the book a whole just a great thriller! Was sooo hard to put down. Absolutely loved it !! Cant wait to start book 2 !!
