3.0

This is a quick binge-worthy debut thriller novel with a medium-burn revenge plot and a whole lot of obsession. There were a few plot holes and inconsistencies throughout the story, and I found the execution of the revenge plan could’ve been written about way better and paced slower. I was able to predict most of what would happen at the end and was only surprised by a few things. Everything is kind of tied together at the end but there is a little bit of an ambiguous ending which compels you to determine what happens next. This wasn’t a fantastic read, but you do get what you expect; nothing more than that. This is a good one if you’re just looking for a palet cleanser and needing to add another book to your reading challenge.
