4.0

The characters are so unlikeable, i did not enjoy being in their mind set at all. I thought about dnf-ing bc i was so uncomfortable, but the book traps you. I listened to it on audiobook, and every second I was not reading, I was thinking about the book, replaying scenes in my head, wondering what would happen next, I was obsessed. 
If you listen to it on audiobook, I recommend listening in 1.3 speed.

That was... an interesting book. In a way, I did want it to be Nick who killed her, especially after the mid-twist and the end-twist. It was very well set up, but also... chick is nuts. Good book overall, but Nick should kill her after the baby is born. Set her up. Take the last word.
