Overall a good read that I was happy with. Started slow (understandably) and really ramped up in the last 100 or so pages. WHAT a twist - worth the slow start. Sorry to Riley Sager, but something about the women characters was…off. Somehow I can tell it was a man writing women.

Had me going there for a minute, bud. The twist got me. 

Truly despicable characters, all of them, and a unreliable narrator trope that isn't exactly what it seems. This was fun, and while I don't normally like books that end all wrapped up with a bow, this one felt complete.
