So first of all I have been trying to finish this book since December 2021 :) This book is so frecking slow, like until Page 340 its not even interesting…I literally had to force me into this book. Besides the fact that its so slow and boring, the writing style and the scenerie were very nice, I really like Lucy Foleys writing style but you have to read 50 pages just to know who went to the toilet 💀 BUT the plot twist got me hooked, fr I had my suspisions

I really thought it was Hannah from the beggining until Aoife and her perled knife came around the corner?? like fr why wouldnt she kill her Sister ex-boyfriend that sended a sextape of her to strangers??

but the plot twist is so simple and intelligent, but also kinda weird and detached from the story? But I really had read some hints but I was so sure that it would be my suspect… the pieces from Olivia past with Will, Hannahs past with Will and yk past with Will got me thinking and shocked. It all fitted perfectly together and made so much sense like this was my main plot twist😭
All in all its a great book for people who like an thriller that gives you nothing until the last 30 pages 🫣 its a no from me but still 3/5 bc of the scenerie, writing style, important topics and the detached plot twist I guess…
