I’m a big fan of Riley Sager to begin with but this book was incredible.

Good grief that was absolutely ridiculous.
Some rando apartment sitter just happens to be a match to be an organ donor for some rich lady? And then someone else will benefit from her liver too? #eyeroll
Not groundbreaking, but enjoyable and kept me interested throughout.
I like the “locked in” type mystery - in this case an apartment building. I pictured the building from Only Murders in the Building, but smaller, the whole time.
I liked the main character’s storyline of her missing sister— it wasn’t directly applicable to the story- but I liked that it gave her motivation and helped round her out. I appreciated how she was down on her luck, but it all made sense and truly made us empathize with a girl who could be any of us.
I kept guessing throughout who the culprit may be, and it was a satisfying conclusion.
It was a great road trip listen.

I have to say, I was disappointed by the pace and little action in here. I was expecting a huge roller coster ride with many twists and turns. I think what made me not like this book as much as I though I would was the hype around this book. So many people absolutely devoured and loved this book and I thought I would too! I loved Riley Sager’s last book so it assumed this one would be great too. But the pacing was slow and the plot was not super engaging. Though the concept of the apartment and all that was interesting, what actually happened was kinda bland. Then when the twist cane around I was confused like “was that the twist?”
Though this makes me sound like I didn’t like the book but I did. I would give it a solid four stars. The idea, concept, characters, how it was written etc was good. It was just the plot and pacing that were somewhat disappointing.
