I have a lot of mixed feelings about this book. On the one hand, it was an interesting set up and not something I had read before. I also thought it was very twisty and kept me guessing through most of it, which is important to me in a thriller. However the main character is absolutely insufferable. I couldn’t stand her perspective. Her relationship with Nathan and Sabrina went from 0 to 100 so fast and her possessiveness over people she’d just met felt very immature and unrealistic. Kelly, the FMC, is a million millennial woman tropes wrapped up in one obnoxious package, and there were multiple times where I almost DNFed the book because I couldn’t stand her perspective and didn’t want to keep reading. I’m glad I pushed through because the ending was wild, but I just couldn’t jive with Kelly. On a personal note, I think I’m just not ready for stories about the pandemic yet. They feel too close and too real still after the horrors of 2020, so I think I’ll be steering clear of books set during a COVID for a while.

3/5☆ w/ a round up

I only got into this book because it was a domestic thriller, and im enjoying these books nowadays. The romance part of the book was annoying, disgusting, and felt forced. Did not like it all.
Aside from the romantic aspect, the thriller part of it was interesting. The plot twist made me open my eyes WIDE, definitely not expected at all.
I didnt like how Kelly's character showed how much of an anxious and overthinker she is yet she was soooo naive in so many situations and disregarded red neon flags that sound alarming to any person let alone someone who overthinks. Aside from that, i was frustrated by her character because it was well written to make the reader feel and see her anxiety that was boarderline suffocating to her and the reader.

Would i recommend the book? Absolutely not. I did not dnf because i was invested to know who the killer was, but the romance side really ruined it all.
