Omfg I have not experienced that level of psychological thriller in such a long time. Although o thought I knew how it would end, every twist made me think I had no idea. I stopped in my tracks multiple times to say “oh my god wtf”. Full of ambiguous truths, complicated (or are they?) and motivations.

Josie was unnerving. Wasn't super happy about the ending. Was it or was it not all in her head? Whose phone case was it?

Talk about creepy. Not my usual genre, but listened to the audiobook on the recommendation of an acquaintance. Definitely utilises the medium more than any other book I’ve “read” before. A very gripping tale, with a satisfyingly unsatisfying ending, however I do feel like it jumped the shark  enough for me to disconnect from the horror. Plus, psychopaths make for somewhat boring character studies.
