Coming from the director of Saltburn, I was expecting this book to be a lot more creepy and disturbing than it actually was. Don’t get met wrong, there were moments in this book that made me quite uncomfortable, but it wasn’t nearly as bad as I was expecting.
It was a compelling read, and had me hooked. I flew through the first half of the book, but slowed down a little in the second half. I was expecting a slightly bigger plot twist as well, but the ending was pretty predictable.
It definitely seems as though it’s been set up for a second book, and I would be super interested to see what happens next if there ever was a second instalment.
However, I’m only going to give this book a 3 stars, as I was expecting a little more from it.
Idk, I’m feeling a little picky this year 🤷🏻♀️
