jennay 's review for:

The Only One Left by Riley Sager
3.0
dark emotional mysterious sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

πŸ™β€β™€οΈπŸ™Žβ€β™‚οΈMain Charcters: Some interesting individuals. MC can seem a bit naive at times which is annoying as she is a 30+ year old woman. 

πŸ”Š Audio: Easy to listen to narrorator.

πŸ₯¨ Twists: Twists are pretty predictable but the ride was enjoyable.
the only 2 things that kind of threw me was the cook being gay and the MC's mother was revealed to be the patient who died under her watch.


✍️ Writing Style: Pretty fluid, some aspects seemed to be page fillers.

πŸ™€ Shock Value: Nothing note worthy. Possible trigger warnings for some. (Tagged in content warnings).

🌢 Spice Level *disclosure, a level 5 is very rare for my ratings* :  Zero.

πŸˆπŸ• Animals?: None mentioned.

πŸ’­ Thoughts on the book overall:

3⭐️ 

First RS book that I enjoyed the journey on.
A long book, but most everything comes together in the end. Did feel like all the 'twists' were shoved into the last fourth of the book, would've been better to spread them out vs dump all at once. Fictional book, but not far fetched on what some people will do to protect their image/ their families image.
