Wowie. What a rollercoaster. The book was hard to get into at first, was a little groaning at the farm wife // small town stereotypes but by half way through I think it set a believable scene. I am a little skeptical about some of the events / facts that felt purely coincidental, not entirely believable. I almost DNFd because of how “perfectly” things were falling into place and how the dementia scenes with her uncle seemed to be the same thing over and over again. 
I definitely suspended my disbelief in order to have fun with the book and I did wind up enjoying it. 

Pleasantly surprised about the gayness!! :D Shame that one of them always fucking dies tho lmao. Really was on the edge of my seat with all of the plot twists hahaha it gave me a glimpse into what it might be like to be a journalist or a detective like constantly changing your focus/suspect. No good people to be found lmao. Epilogue was a roller coaster. I fully had sympathy for Billy and then very much didn’t. It was really fascinating and believable the conclusions his mind came to. Best part of the book I think.


Ultimately, chilling, sad, and I’m glad I read it.
