I’m not sure I liked this book very much. It was certainly addictive. I had a hard time not listening to it. But the ending really threw me. I did listen to the book as an audio book so perhaps I missed things I would have caught while reading, but the twist felt forced to me. It was incredibly unsatisfying. I enjoyed most of the book, so I don’t want to give it a bad rating because most of it was great. Just the ending didn’t work for me. It’s also well written and I laughed so much during this horror book. Definitely check the triggers before reading.
