Loved it! The ending felt a little rushed and it didn’t feel “complete” but I still loved the book in its entirety. Excellent storytelling & I did find it a little Atwood-esque which made sense at the end to learn that Atwood mentored Alderman. Stoked to watch the show, I hope it lives up to the book.

I really love the You series…. But this one just feels like a repeat. It’s getting very boring and I don’t know if I’ll want to read the last book.

Loved it! I liked how the author switched between perspectives & the timeline kept it really interesting. Not giving 5 stars because the ending felt rushed & I feel like it could’ve been more detailed. Overall a great read, I’d recommend

2.0

I’ve liked Fortune’s other novels, but this one wasn’t very good. The plot was predictable and the sex scenes were so detailed (not in a bad way) but it was weird in comparison to the rest of the way the book was written. Not her best work, I was disappointed
