Pretty good but the perp was extremely obvious. Maybe I just read too many thrillers? I still liked it. Although the book was way longer than it should have been.

2.0

A pointless thriller with nothing to really say about its featured subject of sexual assault and a shockingly small amount of faith in its own story if the amount of cheap chapter cliffhangers and needlessly withheld information is anything to go by. Exceedingly plain writing. Not to mention an ending that basically amounts to "well we decided we wanted to be better, so now we are :)".bI will give it credit, though, for actually holding its incel character somewhat accountable,which is more than I thought would happen when his gross ass point of view started. A very strong voice for the one first person narrator, but the other two third person narrators were indistinct at times, and the ultimate twist is easy to see coming and not in a foreshadowing way in which you can solve the mystery yourself in a satisfying way, simply in a "I know this character is going to be part of the twist because we are not supposed to question them." Mediocre overall. Fine for what it is, but definitely something I will readily tell people I only read because it was gifted to me.
