Average mystery. I was able to predict most if not all of the plot twists. I didn’t expect such a strong family drama element, and I actually liked it because it  gave all the characters good dimension and the ending was actually hopeful because of it.

I don’t find it believable that Floyd had no idea about Ellie and Poppy. He was so sinister and strange from the beginning, so to find out that he was just dumb was annoying.

I love Lisa Jewell’s writing. She writes really interesting and complex characters. I really did not like a single person in this book, but for a thriller, I was kinda okay with it. The ending most certainly fell flat, it felt like it was building up to something but then nothing really happened. Definitely enjoyed None of This is True more!

I couldn’t put it down even though it was pretty predictable & had no shocking twists

I really wanted Ellie to somehow survive but I know it wouldn’t have made sense
