Not my most typical fare, but I found it very engaging. Decidedly not a light read, and note the major CW for active alcohol addiction, but I was pretty hooked throughout.

I really enjoyed this book, I thought it was paced well and did a great job at keeping me on the edge of my seat. I do have a small complaint about the book though, I thought that the main character was awful, she isn't relatable at all and is just plain annoying at certain parts of the book, I don't think I've ever wanted a main character to shut up more than I have this one. Overall I would recommend this book to people if they enjoy a good thriller but don't mind an annoying main character.

Great book. Super intense. Felt very Gone Girl-ey, but I read it in about a day.

A Thriller (Turned Movie Starring Emily Blunt) that at times was a bit repetitive with the plot

RECOMMANDABLE (Only To Read Before Watching Movie)!!!

Didn’t enjoy this as I hoped I would. The “thriller” part was missing & every single character was so awful that they all blended into each other to the point that I didn’t care whose pov I was reading, I just knew I didn’t like them.

The ending (which I’m assuming was supposed to be an omg moment) wasn’t, mostly because I was excited to finish the book & start something completely different.
