This book took me all over the place, and I loved it. Not too long, not too short, plenty of twists. I saw a lot of myself in Emma and I had a few visceral reactions. Highly recommend if you’re in a reading slump. Will be reading Adams’ No Exit asap

I really enjoyed this book! The main character was relatable and also had layers. While I

do think that they absolutely should be held accountable for driving so dangerously especially with a child in the car, and that wasn’t really the message, the character was still likable.

the plot twists were fun and even though I guessed some, they definitely threw me off at times. I thought the different perspectives was fun and well done. I was worried because I don’t ever want to read from a killer’s pov (with the exception of my sister, the serial killer) I think it was done tastefully and in a non glorifying way.
Also the line “Okay, that’s fine. I’ll get in another way.” still has me terrified!

*the dog is okay*

i am so disappointed by this… and before i explain why, the irony of writing a negative review on a book thats plot centers around an author hunting down a reader for leaving a bad review, is not lost on me.

i absolutely loved No Exit by this author so i thought this had to be good. i think the premise is super interesting and different, but it fell short. while this was definitely tense and action-packed, it was almost too much. there was an absurd amount of twists and turns that weren’t executed well. it felt like the authors gun ran out of bullets so they just started throwing rocks. these twists were predictable while also feeling so unnecessary and overdone. also the ending??? what kind of hallmark/lifetime movie did this turn into at the end?

*slight spoiler****

also, if you’re an author and you’re writing a mystery or thriller and it is based around one of the main “villains” having a mental illness, just don’t???? this heavily perpetuates mental health stereotypes and stigmas, which simply aren’t true. this is so played out and just downright harmful and inaccurate.
