I enjoyed the plot of the book and I was not expecting the ending but I didn’t feel like it was well written or executed, sometimes I felt like I was struggling through chapters, for example the email at the end was unexpected but was a bit of a slog to get through, especially so close to the end of the book. It also didn’t help that the book was told through a narrator who was unlikable and thought they were better than those they interacted with (the book did give a lot of indication that Grace was a narcissistic sociopath)
