4.5

Got on the list because it has some good twists and turns, which it did! Not the biggest fan of the plot (I hate when women are pitted against each other- it’s old), and the ending feels satisfying but completely unrealistic. But this doesn’t have to be fully realistic I guess. My jaw definitely dropped a few times which is what I was looking for!
