I read this in like two days, and stayed up way too late the first day (do NOT recommend, not with this creepy book).

I don't read thrillers or horror normally, but I heard good things about this book and author, as well as seeing it on a sapphic book rec list. 

The relationship is very minor, very shared trauma bonding lol. 

I liked all the characters despite how many there are. I have watched a lot of competition shows in my life, so it did have that vibe of a large group, and then seeing snapshot videos of each competitor's background so you sympathize with them. Personally I didn't have any trouble keeping track of everyone.

This book gave me serious anxiety haha. I feel like it delivered on that thriller aspect. I never felt like it was slow or that I could put it down. I really sped through this book because it was unputdownable.

The only issue I have is the ending because it felt wildly abrupt.
