3.0

 I struggle with books that have unreliable, unlikeable narrators, and this one definitely did. The premise of the book was good, and a good reminder of how creepy family blogs/vlogs are, but it just didn't hit for me. Part of it felt dated - why did Jennifer insist on doing a blog and not get a Tiktok? I cannot believe that there are tweens out there religiously reading a blog, sorry. Parts of the ending also didn't quite add up and I'm still not sure how things were resolved...

Anyway, the premise is decent and it's a good read, but definitely not the best thriller I've read.
