Didn't vibe with the writing style. I don't believe it was very good autistic representation either, the narrator/main character did not come across as autistic, she came across stupid, and they are not the same thing.

I enjoyed this book, the plot twist at the end really surprised me!  I don't think I've read a book before with the point-of-view of someone who is autistic (or at least heavily implied to be) - which is great representation for Neurodiverse folks. The depiction was well written, although I believe it fell into quite a few stereotypes - which took away from that slightly. Overall a good book :)

This was the fastest read for me this year! Easy to follow along, Such a quick moving story. Love the different point of view of our main character. The final twist was a HUGE shocker to end the story on.

Really enjoyed this read. Twisty and suspenseful, not what I expected at all. I was left speechless at times. Would recommend reading if you like thriller mysteries!
