This book took me all over the place, and I loved it. Not too long, not too short, plenty of twists. I saw a lot of myself in Emma and I had a few visceral reactions. Highly recommend if you’re in a reading slump. Will be reading Adams’ No Exit asap

I really enjoyed reading this book.
Maybe a tad too many twists, but overall a very entertaining read.

This was SO GOOD! 4.5 ⭐️
Finally, a book right up my alley.
I had such a fun time reading this one, flicking through the pages so fast. It was fast-paced, wildly chaotic, and at times somewhat predictable, yet it really worked for the story.

A few plotholes here and there, but nothing that bothered my reading experience, and I found the characters to be well-written as well. (So tired of unlikeable characters!)

This was such an entertaining popcorn thriller, but unfortunately loses half a star due to the last 30%. The book requires a lot of suspension of disbelief, which I had no problem with the first 70% as it was just so much fun, but the last 30% is a mess full of twist after twist after twist. There were MANY times the author pulls a “sike! Books not done yet” for what felt like no reason. Overall though, I had a really good time with it lol.
