I Said Yes by Kiersten Modglin
2.0
Huh? Not sure if I'm more confused over the hype over a mediocre domestic thriller or the mediocrity itself.
This was a fast-paced and suspenseful read that kept me turning the pages. The writing isn't anything to shout about and there's more telling than showing, but I enjoyed how bingeable and readable it was. I also loved how the book highlights the greyness and victim-blaming in sexual assault. Then it all falls apart in the third act.
The 'twist' felt like a cop-off and had me rolling my eyes. Everything just went in a very ridiculous direction. The ending was super abrupt, almost as if the author got tired of her own story and decided to call it quits. I should have called it quits by not buying this book at all.
