Welp, it seems to me that Tama French is really great at creating very dynamic IDIOTS who are in desperate need of therapy. 💀

Lol well at least Cassie wasn't a complete nitwit like Rob. Just made some dumb emotional choices. But that's life, eh?

This one was MILES better than In The Woods. It actually came to a somewhat satisfying conclusion, for one thing. And there was way more intrigue in this plot, for me. And as already stated, the narrator wasn't completely unbearable.

This series is a bit wordy, a bit literary, for me honestly. Not exactly what I'm looking for in a mystery - but that doesn't make it bad. Just different from what I'm used to. My dad owns them all, so I imagine I'll get around to the whole series eventually.
