This book kept me engaged from beginning to end. Some of the twists were truly unexpected (even if the official summary is spoiler-ridden). The journey of an aspiring writer who has her world quickly implode around her will have you wondering who is behind everything and how all the threads weave together.
There are some moments of confusion or where characters act in ways that require you to really suspend your disbelief. The time skips toward the end felt a bit disjointed. Overall though, I was able to follow and stay engaged throughout.

First off, thank you to Netgalley and Poisoned Pen Press for an eARC for my honest review.
Loved this! From the first chapter I could not put this down! It’s completely different than what I expected. The cover made me think Contemporary Fiction, but it was a very in depth, unique thriller. I loved Gus, Theo, and Mac. I was hoping and praying throughout that Mac would not end up an antagonist. I won’t spoil it for you and say either way.
I put that it was slow paced just because it was very thorough. I enjoyed the small details and the glimpses of just normal life not detrimental to the plot. I’m jealous that they were able to live on pizza, burgers, and grilled cheeses the entire time.
Content warnings: excessive cursing (99% being F bombs.) no details with sex but mentions of past rape.
