The average Goodreads rating is 3.90 based on 15,653 ratings.
This book was incredibly disturbing; it made me feel physically ill and sick to my stomach. I acquired it for free on StuddYourKindle day, following a TikTok recommendation. However, I was unprepared for the criminal-thriller theme.
Despite the book having a happy ending, I can't shake the feeling that there wouldn't be anything happy if we were to follow the characters further. I'm left pondering the psychiatric diagnosis of one particular side character.
Moderate: Sexual assault, Rape, Stalking, Schizophrenia/Psychosis , and Mental illness

I also really liked Gina’s character development. The author showed a lot of honesty in how she was just trying to make it through the day. Hannah though deserves a bit of a smack. Like I get you idolized him but how can you not see your mother’s feelings about it? Bit selfish of her. I hope they repair things in the next book.
Not sure how I feel about the interoffice “situationship” but I think they have a great group of characters to follow through the novels. Curious to continue the series and see if they explore the others in more detail

The pace, writing, and dialogue were a bit awkward and, at worst, repetitive and cringey.
I don’t know what the descriptions meant with “heart-stopping twist” cause there certainly wasn’t any.
