The Last House on Needless Street by Catriona Ward
2.0
Well, I feel like it would've been a better story for me if I hadn't remembered the plot from The Ward (unfortunately, an Amber Heard movie). As soon as we learned about Lauren and Olivia, I knew it was the same situation so nothing surprised me after that.
The stream-of-consciousness writing style made this so dense and slow to read and for the first time, I got the audiobook because I just couldn't sit through it anymore. Not only was the slow, detailed narration making it miserable to read through, the audiobook was just barely tolerable on 3 X speed.
The only reason I sat through it was because I hoped I hadn't figured out the final twist. Sure enough, I did. Not only that but man, did it drag. Like, get to the point. I knew all this 100 pages ago.
