I was totally entertained with this. I think it could have been a lot shorter in all honesty, but it was still good. It lacked the classic McFadden twist at the end…I guessed a good portion of the twists. Either way, it was still good and had me going 🧐 and 😳 at moments

so, this was misery by stephen king right? 🥸 anyone else?

I’m usually a huge freida mcfadden supporter as she’s the queen of last minute plot twists & addictive can’t-put-em-down thrillers! and boy was this one addicting too 👀 I binged the entire thing on my sick day today because I absolutely needed to know how this ended 

what didn’t work for me this time around was the characterization. tegan was one of the worst FMCs I’ve read in a while - she is quite literally an idiot, and while I feel for everything she’s been through, she blindly accepts help from anyone and listens to her unborn fetus to see what she thinks 🙂‍↕️ like okay hallucinations

and she’s a terrible judge of character - like yes, let’s blame the giant teddy bear who saved you from the snow and crash & not the creepy lady who is quite literally locking you in her basement cool 

the ending itself, save from that gasping plot twist which is the only reason this has 3 stars, was so frustrating and morally against everything tegan stood for… but that goes back to her terrible judge of red flags probably 😶

rating: 3 stars

The plot keeps the reader interested, while the characters keep the reader invested. Abuse, Mental health, and pregnancy are major themes that cross into dangerous territory. Clues are left throughout the story to help guide to the conclusion, so it’s up to the reader to follow the breadcrumbs. The different perspectives slipped in between the main character’s experience deepens the understanding of how everything came together to form the events of the story.
