Read if:
- you want a solid mystery/thriller with juicy gossip and multiple perspectives
- that's it. I really liked this and would recommend if you're looking for something in this genre

I honestly loved this book. I won't lie, while I understand his purpose in the book, Eric felt so flat as a character, but tbh it was everything I wanted. I wasn't disappointed in the ending, I did predict it (but not too early on), and the overall resolution was fitting. I know I'm usually pretty harsh with logic throughout but the juicy gossip of all these shitty people was enthralling and satiated my need for drama. Do I love any characters? fuck no. But that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy the story as it was played out.

**pls note there is no knife
