So obviously there is a huge question that the reader asks itself throughout the entire book and just when you think you found the answer BOOOOM, A complete TWIST !!! I honestly would have never guessed that ending and it honestly left me saying "WTF". I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was a small section that began to slow down the story, however, the author planted a big mystery/question very early in the book that makes you want to continue to find out the truth. I do recommend to give this book a chance. I still have not yet looked at the Netflix series due to me wanting to finish this book first.
3.5*
I liked it a lot, but the slightly fantastic part confused me a bit. The book deserves four stars, I think, but I can't do it. In the end I felt the need to lie in a pool or take a shower.

I’m giving this four stars as an “overall read”. I enjoyed reading this and found it kept my attention until I realised what the twist was...a tad ridiculous. 4* overall read, 2* twist ending...

I read this book for my book club, and it was a good read. I will say if you watched the movie prior it will somewhat ruin it for you. Had I not seen the movie before, I would have been surprised by the ending. I did enjoy both. I would recommend both as well.

I found that I Really liked this and was super intrigued throughout the entire book. I kinda loved that it was hard to tell fully who was my unreliable narrator and how everyone was immoral in different facets. I thought that twist with Louise really being Adele was 🤯🤯🤯 BUT I really just wish it ended there. The whole concept of Rob really being Adele and then later Louise was … just weird. Felt like a twist just for a twist without it really adding up to me?? If anything it felt like Rob was in love with Adele?? The him being in love with David just didn’t add up… idk I liked about 98% of this book lol

This book definitely kept me interested the whole time. It had some sci fi aspects I wasn't expecting that usually aren't my jam, but it was enjoyable and I did NOT see the ending coming and I love that.
3.5
Eu gostaria de ter gostado mais do livro, mas achei o plot twist muito "easy way out". Acredito que ela elaborou muito bem depois plot e por isso a nota é essa.
Sarah Pinborough tem uma escrita rápida e uma ótima construção de personagens.
Mas deus Louise é burra demais.. tem que desenhar para entender???
