i am sorry but this was so utterly ridiculous

3.75 ⭐️. This is the first Riley Sager novel I’ve read and I expected to really love the ending but unfortunately I didn’t. Big twist, but I feel like the more things kept getting piled on top, the more over it I was. I did really enjoy the lead up to it though. I will be reading more by this author as I enjoyed the writing style, just disappointed this one didn’t meet my expectations based off the hype I’ve heard surrounding it.

overall I really liked the premises. The last 100 or so pages were a bit outlandish for me. It just became too hard to follow and a bit unbelievable. 3.5 (4) rounded up
