Ugh. Absurd. Had potential but just rung too hollow for me.
Promising first chapter although the ‘hints’ that all was not what it seemed were as subtle as a freight train. Thought that it might have been an interesting story exploring controlling relationships but it took a strong turn into psychotic early on. Character’s motivations were one dimensional and there were missed opportunities to explore these fully, resulting in unrelatable characters and nonsensical plot.

On the plus side, a very easy to read writing style means this book is a quick read.

I read this because so many people on TikTok RAVED over this book. I did not enjoy this book at all. This book seemed boring and so predictable. It was also very unbelievable. Many people complained about the ending, but the ending was okay.

Could not put it down! Plenty of twists that keep you guessing, and an ending that will leave you thinking about this book for weeks.
