This book was wild! The ending was insane. I loved the characters despite not really connecting with any of them. The plot twists were suspenseful and crazy!

Man, this book was not what I expected. It is good and dark. Definitely not a feel good story. Tess Stimson knows how to write a story and keep you engaged.

This one just didn't keep my attention after a while. It just went on and on, and nothing unexpected or exciting happened. I just wanted it to be over by the time I got to the end. I loved the narration in the audiobook, and the plot was promising. I am a great lover of books about psychopaths lol; however, this was predictable. The only somewhat interesting thing that happened was the twist at the end, but I saw that coming from a mile away. It was not a horrible read, just didn't keep me invested. One thing I did like was the blurbs in between chapters that mimicked a tv show exploring psychopathy, I liked those blurbs. Other than that, a dud.

This was my first read by this author and surely won’t be my last! This was a very solid psychological thriller that IMO is completely undersold by the synopsis. It is so much more than couples buying a nice glass house!
Writing: 4/5 - Plot: 4/5 - Ending: 4.5/5
This was written well, and written in a clever way that had me guessing, and on edge. I just felt the fatphobia parts were unnecessary. I actually cared for the characters and was surprised they had quite a bit of depth behind them. I loved the surgery and medical discussion portions honestly, I thought it was very interesting as I’m in nursing school and happen to love Greys Anatomy. (lol)
I really liked the format of the “Ted” talks as well as the vlogging between the normal chapters. It kept me interested and intrigued.
The plot is so much more than the synopsis! It got darker than I anticipated quite fast. I loved that though. The plot could’ve moved along faster in my opinion and there was some filler, but I felt it was worth it.
I personally really enjoyed the ending, even though I had a sense of the direction it was going to take, I still really enjoyed it!

What a rollercoaster ride!
If you love a great domestic thriller, look no further than this story. It has everything I love and needed for a winning five stars novel.
I loved the introduction of the couples and got really intrigued by the posts on social media. It feels so unrealistic how some people are really putting up all their interactions and life events for everyone to read and see.
With such a glorious mix of characters, this story never let me down.
With sufficient twists and unexpected turns, and so many suspenseful moments where the author has created a story where I was waiting on the edge of my seat for the shoes to drop. And it drops big time.
Viral videos are not a good way to try covering what's happening behind the doors.
I'm honestly still reeling from this one.
Cleverly done, this is a great trilling story everyone should read.
