I think this was decent. The writing was rather elementary. And you could see the twist from miles away based on the context “clues”. But the clues were so loud they used a megaphone. Like seriously. How was this the number one book last year? Like the first twist was obvious & the next one was a fun surprise.

It was solid thriller. Just based a lot on a guy with a misogynistic view of life.
