I really love Riley sager!! Their books are always so incredible. This one is definitely my least favourite of his books but I still had a great time. The ending was was convinced me to give an extra star. The ending is really awesome and so engaging. I like having an unreliable narrator and not knowing if you can believe them.

I also liked seeing the past situation with viv, Allison and Natalie. And the dual perspective. Though it was written really well and added a lot to the book. I felt a bit bad for Theo he didn’t deserve that but also can understand Emma’s perspective too. Especially as she was only a child when it happened.

The writing as always is great and the plot well written. Riley has an incredible way of storytelling and engaging you the entire time. However, this time especially towards the start I didn’t feel that rush. That edge of my seat adrenaline that I always normally feel with his books. Definitely felt it at the end but I felt the start was a little slow for me. In comparison to his others books.

Overall, this one is definitely a great time. But not my favourite of his books.
