A review by spinstah
The Only One Left by Riley Sager

dark mysterious fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

This is extremely twisty and convoluted - maybe too twisty, especially at the end - but I did not get a single thing right except the fact that

the house does finally collapse into the sea

at the end. The overwrought POV of the heroine was a little tiring at times, but it's a hallmark of gothic literature so you just have to kind of go with it. I listened to this and I think it was a good pick for this book, the narrators were good and listening meant I couldn't start skimming, which I think I would have at points if I was reading.
