Okay have so many thoughts about this book! It was an eery read post covid-pandemic, but I definitely enjoyed it!! It’s a thriller through and through. I was wondering where the narrative was directing me, but then was literally blown away by the ending. It really surprised me but also made so much sense.

The characters were pretty engaging but also so grating on my head and heart. Like do I like them? Do I hate them? Who knows! Not me! Apparently! Morally ambiguous people which I love.

Honestly give this book a read if you’re looking for a nail biting thriller!
