Damn, what did I just read? This was a wild ride!
Deducting one star cuz some parts of the book truly disturbed me and I was left feeling uncomfortable for quite a while; it was unsettling. This book should come with all sorts of trigger warnings.
The end at each chapter always kept you guessing; I was suspecting 4 people at the same time and my mind was shuffling between suspecting a different one after every chapter.
The narrator's POV reveals nothing and keeps you hooked and guessing till the end. I thought it was very well written.
I saw some of the twists coming but I was not prepared for that last one. I am not the kind of person who will give a fewer stars just because I managed to guess the twists from a mile away. It doesn't mean the writing is suggestive of it, I just suspect everyone and it isn't the author's fault.
I don't know if it was supposed to be a twist cuz who wouldn't figure out that Catherine and Cat Jones are the same person?? I saw that coming as soon as the photograph was mentioned.
Alice Feeney's writing is captivating as usual. Brilliant storytelling and truly the queen of twists.
Also, I can't wait to see how the tv show pans out!
