This was very exciting. This was the first time I was able to guess the twist about halfway through, but I still enjoyed every page. I love the unreliable narrator theme in this book. It’s often done, but in a way where the narrator was guilty or they knew more than they led you to believe. This time she was unreliable to herself and that made the ending that much better. I was screaming at her a lot throughout the story, but it wouldn’t be psych thriller if I wasn’t, right? Can’t wait to watch the movie!
