🔪 psychological thriller.
— fast-paced, stand-alone pov

“we all think of killing someone. but it’s only a fantasy. you never do it.”

a rollercoaster type of book. the story follows alice, a widow whose husband, grant, has recently passed away—until she starts seeing his face everywhere she goes. 

first of all, this is really a fun read. i was immediately interested after reading the prologue. the plot was unpredictable and i seriously did not have any idea on what’s going to happen in the story. the first few chapters were a bit confusing, but as i flip the pages, i end up laughing my heart out. there are lots of funny scenes and i was shocked when freida mcfadden featured herself in this book. 

lastly, i did not see the plot twist coming. this is one of the books that nearly question my sanity. this is such a hilarious psychological thriller book, and i really had a great time reading it.
