this was good but it felt like too much and not enough at the same time. some things were repetitive and some were underdeveloped.

Bob is too good for all of these terrible people. Every other character was trash. 

The Twist was unexpected, and it certainly kept me reading. However, given how character driven this story was I needed to be able to connect and like at least one of them. Even just a little.

The writing was fine. Very readable, if needlessly and unrealistically cryptic. But that comes with the genre, so I can't fault it too much. 

I have some Thoughts on the ending so Spoilers ahead:

Two separate people being this obsessed with a man? Who by all accounts seems like a completely self interested ass? The fuck? Unbelievable. Could never be me. 

Especially when Adam and Robin get back together ???? Like ???? Girl psychologically tortured, then stabbed your wife? I know you didn't like your wife much but still. Can you ever trust that person again? Let alone think "everything inside her is beautiful"? What more can we expect from Adam I guess. 

Amelia wasn't a good person at all, but I don't think she deserved what happened to her. 

Also literally what was the point of the last chapter. It added nothing.

I can't write a review without spoiling anything by mistake, that is how well woven the whole plotlines are. When I was reading the premise, I could not understand why Alice Feeney is the QUEEN of twists, but now I get it; I did not see that ending coming. Brilliantly interwoven, all wrapped up nicely in the end, which is all I want in a novel, CLOSURE.

Would've given the last star if the author hadn't tried too hard to keep us hooked by mentioning "but they don't know my secrets" (verbatim) at the end of almost every chapter; it was kind of annoying when you keep saying something is gonna happen and it doesn't until the last few chapters. I am all for big reveals at the end, but throw us SOME meat to get to the end.

But that won't stop me from DEFINITELY coming back to revisit.
