came for the prophecy by taylor swift and a fun thriller, stayed for a book that found me at just the right time and knocked me off my feet.

“i also recognize the impulse behind [character’s] choice, which [character] made while reeling from loss. it does something to you, watching the person you love, the person who said they love you, leave you behind. it makes you suspicious of yourself, makes you question everything you did, everything you are, searching for the flaws that caused the pain- and you’ll find them everywhere. in memories. in mirrors.”

Entertaining for what it was, although the reveal wasn’t super shocking to me-I probably have read too many domestic thrillers at this point to be surprised anymore. I thought the ending was clever and wish that aspect of the FMC would have been explored more.

An electric thriller that had me guessing to the very end! Wait for the crazy switch-up halfway through. Such a clever, fun, and oddly empowering feminist novel :)

Wow! This was my first Megan Collins book and WILL NOT be my last. What a rollercoaster of a read! Cross Your Heart by Megan Collins is a 5⭐️ thriller read.

This story introduces us to a completely relatable yet unreliable narrator who you’ll find yourself stuck between hating and loving. The narrative skillfully calls out toxic masculinity and offers a poignant commentary on how women are often perceived by men and even other women for being “too much”—simply for wanting to be loved.

One of the aspects I truly loved about this book is its depth. Beyond the thrilling plot twists, it offers multiple layers that are both thought-provoking and emotionally resonant. I was so moved that I even shed a tear or two.

Overall, this is an outstanding read if you’re looking for something to devour. The story is convoluted in the best possible way. I’ve already convinced a friend to pre-order this gem.
