If I would have known this book was going to be all about sex I would not have read it. Nothing other than crazy passionate sex happened until half way through the book. The main character was the typical crazy in love stupid blind woman. Kinda made me sick to be honest, but I made it through to a satisfying ending.
Disclaimer: I won this book in a Goodreads First Reads giveaway.
If I were to judge this book by it's cover, I would immediately put it back down. It looks corny and cheap, right? Honestly, I don't even remember why I entered this giveaway, but I am glad I did. Killing Me Softly lives up to the hype and really gripped me from the beginning. The romance is a little weird, seeing as the main character becomes infatuated instantly with a stranger. That usually bothers other people, but I really didn't mind too much. The plot develops quickly, and the reader is instantly pulled into a wild plot that expertly uses an unreliable narrator to pull us in. I couldn't figure out if the main character (Alice) was acting rationally or insanely, and the guy she's crazy for (Adam), was also a hard read. I was constantly going over everyone's actions in my head to try to figure out what was happening, and as much as I honestly tried to figure it out, I was wrong and surprised when every twist happened. You don't know what's coming next, and you cannot trust the characters. Pick this up.

This a reasonably good thriller. I felt the ending was a cop out to be honest. It could have done with some editing - it felt repetitive in parts.

I enjoyed it. Slow in some parts. I liked the twist but the ending wasn't as good as the twist.
DNF. Over de helft en er is nog steeds niets interessant gebeurd
