I don't completely know what I read, but I know my brain enjoyed it and thought it was clever and well-written. Lots of twists and turns and parts that are woven together that you don't even know are woven together. Genius. It's a book I'll be thinking about for quite a while. I look forward to more from this author - she does not disappoint!

Thank you to Netgalley and Tor Publishing Group for an ARC.

I really enjoyed reading this, but I’ll be sitting with it awhile trying to make sense of all the twists and the ending. I love the concept and I appreciate the commentary on writing and “true crime,” but there were definitely parts that needed more fleshing out for me. This could be a good reread knowing what I know now from the ending.

Really enjoyed. Will need to read a second time to catch all the threads. Very immersive, good prose, good reveals.

The writing draws you in. The plot was interesting and kept me reading. The end didn't work for me. I think I had this same problem with other of her books. She's an excellent writer but apparently her work just isn't for me.
