Would Recommend?: Yes

Slight Spoilers Ahead? (read with caution)


Was a pleasant read, i would probably reread in the future as-well. I loved the writer's writing, i love how detailed it is. Im giving this book 3.5 stars because i didn't feel much for the characters, most of them were slightly annoying and also stuck-up. I also will say i could not feel the chemistry between Oliver and Meredith. It felt very out of nowhere, i also will say that i wish there were more moments with James & Oliver so the ending would feel more emotional for me, but it seemed like it was so focused on Oliver & Meredith. I would've loved to see more scenes or flashbacks of James & Oliver's relationship. The ending slightly felt rushed but it was still a good fun thriller. It got boring in some parts i will say too. I will say it had some funny moments especially when Richard said "I want to play too." ☠️.
