In short, I couldn’t read past the 4th chapter. The characters were extremely flat and one dimensional.

Try as I might, I couldn’t get into it. I made it to Chapter 4 before I finally stopped. The book failed to gain my attention and hold it.

I’m not really a fan of first-person writing. This book makes me dislike it even more. The first chapters introduce the main character as cold, unfeeling, stalkerish, and well… if you're psychology but the makings of a psychopath.

I felt no connection with Elizabeth “Juliette”.

As much as I wanted to finish this book, I stopped.

I learned that she stalks her ex-boyfriend, goes into his apartment, lays in his bed, checks his accounts (she has his passwords) and she follows another woman, Bella.

She, Elizabeth, took a job as a flight attendant to be near Nate.

Stalker Alert!

Five chapters in  and I'm forcing myself to read. It’s hard to enjoy and hard to follow.
