Based on the preview I read, I expected a little bit more thriller content in this book.
HOWEVER! That’s doesn't mean I didn’t still enjoy it!
I really like the concept, and as I don’t read many modern horror books, or take part in dating sites it was a complete immersion into something I have no experience or connection to!
The first chapter or so hooked me in immediately, and although it does become a bit more ‘chick-lit’, I did enjoy being able to get to know the women a bit more, instead of them just being faceless victims with no personality. It helped me to connect and empathise and it showed a side of them that wasn’t just the horrible situations!
I know a few people that will enjoy this book because the love both chick lit and thrillers, so I will definitely be recommending it to them! Thank you to readers first for sending me a copy!

**Updating my review**
THE PLOT
Paige and Heather are cousin-emies (cousin + enemy). Heather wants to be Paige and even went as far as snatching her mans. Paige, the "cool, easy, breezy girl-next-door" type is trying to live her life and dabbles in a lil online dating. But, watch out, because there's a killer on the loose and his hunting ground is dating apps.
MY OPINNI
............. bro. I've read other Joy Fielding novels, and either she slapped this bad boy together after 6 martinis OR her ghost writer was a 10-year-old. The writing quality was abysmal. Think: "The sky is blue." "I put on my sweater. Then I went outside." (I dead ass think the sweater quote was an actual excerpt from the book). It was appalling how poor the writing was.
The intro gave the book potential, but the rest of the book was so difficult to read. I get distracted by bad writing, so unless the storyline is above and beyond, I'm going to be thinking about the writing quality the entire read.
Also, the only juicy stuff happened at the end. The ending should've been midway through the book; there was way more to explore and explain. I wouldn't even classify this a thriller. You know who the bad guy is, and the rest of the book is Paige and Heather facing off with each other over some bum ass crusty dude.
Le sigh. Do not read this one.
PROS AND CONS
Pros: Because I'm feeling nice... The intro.
Cons: Everything else. Especially the writing quality.

So disappointed with this!The premise of this book was so good. You never know who you can meet on a dating site. To me this book was caught between a few stools. Neither a crime novel, or psychological thriller. To me it started of well and then proceeded to go downhill rapidly! I found my concentration wandering as the story failed to grip me. I also found the plotting ponderous and characters one dimensional and I couldn't engage with any of them. A story of four women with a loose thread connecting them. It was a struggle to read and this was the reason I was so disappointed. I really wanted to enjoy this book and it wasn't just for me. I had heard so many good things about this author and as I said earlier I was left feeling let down.

I have never read a thriller with this much character depth and five POVs.
This book is about the lives of five different women and a killer that creeps into theirs
It doesnt bring you to the edge of your seat (slowburn)
Overall it isnt what I expected But definetly enjoyable
Spoiler
I wished there was a final Battle between Heather and the killer - The End was great but I wanted more from the build up

Wie unglaublich schlecht kann man schreiben? Dümmliche Dialoge, Abziehbild-Charaktere, ein Klischee nach dem anderen.

Very odd story. Sadly I wasn’t that interested or captivated by the story or the characters. I like that Fielding tried to add some drama to the story but it still wasn’t enough for me. I would have given this one star but I will give it two since exactly what I wanted to happen ended up happening in the end.

Paige and her cousin, Heather, have a bit of a rivalry going on. They look close enough to be mistaken for twins, as their fathers were identical twins. Heather is always trying to get ahead of Paige, stealing her boyfriend, following her job choices, and all around making Paige miserable.
Paige is now trying out online dating sites. She tries to connect with Mr. Right Now, but things keep getting in her way. Fortunately for Paige she keeps missing connections as Mr. Right Now is a serial killer.
Chloe is Paige's best friend, and is in the middle of a tenuous relationship with her husband, Matt. Joan is Paige's mother, and is a widower, and is also starting to date after Paige's father's death. While Paige feels her life is going nowhere, she turns more frequently to communications with Mr. Right Now.
This story had some potential, but the conclusion was so obvious to me from the very beginning. I thought the conclusion was rather abrupt, as well, almost as if Ms. Fielding decided the book was long enough, and it was time to finish it and move on.

So I was really excited for this book.
The first chapter HAD me, I thought I was really going to enjoy this book. It had a very eery vibe, sounded like a tinder date gone wrong and I thought it was going to be great.
I was a little bit disappointed. I still really like the premise of the book and I think it has real potential to be such a thrilling book. It just fell a bit flat in reality.
It had thrilling parts here and there but most of it was about the women, and who they are rather than the killer, whom I expected it to be centred around.
I think maybe if it was advertised differently I wouldn’t have been so disappointed but I feel it’s just not the book it was advertised to be! Others might still enjoy it though!
