4.0

A thriller about a British podcaster who meets a woman who has the same birthdate as her and decided to make a podcast about her and things go very much sideways from there. Jewell does an excellent job through both the main characters' POVs slowly ratcheting up the tension until it became actually uncomfortable to read for me, all of it paying off in a inevitable, yet shocking climax. And then There's an added little surprising stinger at the end.
