Animal Cruelty involved. Good twists but some were not connected to the rest of the plot. Amazing premise.

Will I ever give a 1 star book review again?…probably not

Seriously though this book had me going wtf multiple times, I thought I knew but I was wrong, but then also kinda right???? But not really? And I was genuinely getting mad at the end and was even kinda scared at some moments (I feel so blessed I don’t live alone because I’d be terrified to sleep at night for fear of being watched 😅) — I listened to the audiobook version and would definitely recommend

I read this expecting a lot after reading No Exit and I wasn’t disappointed. While it didn’t exactly have the mood I was hoping it would have, I still enjoyed it immensely. The book had me in shock, heart broken, cringing, and even laughing out loud at parts. I absolutely loved the back and forth between narrators and the realization that one of which was not in anyway reliable. Definitely the kind of book I’ll reread with a whole new perspective.
