4.0

I thought this a fun and twisty thriller. Most of the characters felt well developed, though one of the main characters felt a little undercooked to me. Characters were definitely unlikeable, but in a way that was interesting and suited a thriller.

CW: casual ableism, self-harm (on page), violence, death, blood, gun violence, mental illness, trauma, alcohol use, sex, slut/body shaming, domestic abuse, gaslighting/catfishing, misogyny, brief mentions of drug addiction and pedophilia (not graphic)

this was quite the ride with a bunch of twists & turns, especially in the end. love me a book with rich people drama, even if it's not the entire focus in a story. will definitely pick up more from Jayatissa in the future, this was so easy to get into.
