I audibly said “what the f*ck” after the last line.
I fully understand why people either love or hate this book.
Quite a bit is left ambiguous at the end and the reader is free to make assumptions or guess what is and isn’t the truth (think the manuscript/letter situation in Verity).
We are left never knowing which version is the truth but you are absolutely given tools to try and figure it out for yourself. I personally don’t like open ended stories and I love a solid resolution so this wasn’t my favorite but almost fully because of the ending, that and the fact that the first 10% was really hard to get into.
The characters weren’t very likeable but that’s usually not a dealbreaker for me when it comes to a thriller. I really disliked the fact that Nathan had to die (not a fan of unnecessary deaths just for shock value, maybe a personal preference).
Obviously going into it, the game itself tells you not to believe everything you hear. But, I’m gullible and forgetful, and I took everything she said as gospel and couldn’t wait to see if her husband died at the end of this. Well, might be a little sorry about that now that things are a little less clear.
What I do know:
- regardless of how they got there, Josie’s husband was with her from a VERY young age.
- something is off with the daughters (but I don’t think they were involved in any deaths)
- Josie is crazy… 🤷🏻♀️
- Alix probably could’ve prevented a lot of things had she just put her intuition above getting ahead.
Not my favorite, but I see why people love it.
