3.5

(3.5 rounded to 4⭐️) this was probably the best thriller i’ve read in 2024 so far butttttttt the ending was extremely anticlimactic & disappointing. This book did a really good job of making me SO upset with characters (*Neena🙄🤨*) but also on the edge of my seat as to how everything was going to play out. I will say that Cat, though she is also not a good person, really did not come to play & somehow i’m not exactly mad at what she did???😫 I really enjoyed this book, other than the ending!🤷🏽‍♀️

This book could only have the potential a guilty pleasure, nothing more; and even at that, it didn't really deliver on the 'pleasure' part. In terms of plot, I would say there wasn't much substance and the end was kind of unsatisfying. No one really "won" and it left me wondering what the point of it all was.

In short, a snoozefest.

The book also made mention of several characters and other loopholes that left questions that largely went unanswered. And every single character was unlikeable. Towards the end, I really was just looking to finish it.

Solidly one of the worst books I’ve ever read. I didn’t enjoy the writing style and the plot was just painful. I skipped most of the middle and read through the ending, the only reason I didn’t DNF it was to see that some form of revenge was exacted or I wouldn’t have been able to let it go.

Where do I even begin...I'm head over heels in love with this story! I finished this book a little less than a month ago and I still think about it every single day. For a lack of better words, Cat lives in my mind rent free!
In "Every Last Secret" by A.R Torre, we switch between the pov of two successful women, Cat and Neena. After Neena secures a job at the company Cat's husband owns and moves into the house directly next door to the couple, Neena's less than innocent motives become a threat to Cat's perfect life. In a story filled with lust, lies, and jealousy, we are left pondering what we would do if we found ourselves in similar circumstances.
I loved the use of dual pov and think that Torre did an amazing job creating two distinct main characters that readers can both relate to and despise at certain moments throughout the story. I often found myself relating to Cat's inner conflicts and struggles with jealousy and as such, she has 100% become one of my favorite main characters to date. The plot was fast-paced, entertaining, and kept me interested the entire time. The ending twist was also shocking and wasn't completely far-fetched or predictable like the endings in a lot of thrillers.
Overall I give full props to A.R Torre for writing an amazing story and will be recommending "Every Last Secret" to anyone who will listen! I have a few other A.R Torre books on my wish list and I am very excited to see what else Torre has written...I already know they will be great!

i enjoyed this book, the beginning was hard to get through, im not into boring intros and to me it felt boring. however, after i made it over the 25% mark i was HOOKED. the plot twists really kept me going, i hated all the characters, especially cat. i think cat is so judgemental and rude. trigger warning for mentions of abortion she’s really rude about that bit.

the plot twists well some of them i seen but most of them i was actually shocked that i didn’t see coming.

the ending was interesting, i feel like it’s very hard to end a book like this without adding a whole lot of trauma. this ending was good, i think it really wrapped up the characters and their lives.

my favourite character was william. he was just so… predictable. very silly man in a good way i suppose.

overall i actually would recommend this book besides my rating i think that’s just a personal thing that i rated it like that. could have been 4 stars if something WORSE happened in the book for me personally.
