WOW, I was hooked from the start, the ending had me questioning a lot of things making me want more. 100% the best book I’ve read in 2024. I couldn’t put the book down from starting it. Once finished I even listened to the podcast. Warning- there is triggers throughout the book which might disturb people but WOW.

Conflicted for a review on this book, I enjoyed it however it reminded me a lot of The Ex & The Housemaid from Freida McFadden. Both books are similar however different also. If you never read these books I would 100% recommend however I did also enjoy the book and the plot twists did get me hooked
Viral by Helen Fitzgerald
slow-paced
The only reason why this book intrigued me was the initial shock factor of the first few pages. But what was that, I can’t even rate because I didn’t understand how this book got published. Yes it gained awareness of how social media can ruin a persons life but the confusion I had because the narrative kept on jumping back and forth without no explanation. Plus the ending I can’t even give this book any stars

I enjoyed the book and the plot twist at the end, I only give 4 stars because I predicted a major key in the story half way through. However if you don’t read a lot of thriller books it’s not an easy prediction. Still really enjoyable and would recommend

Book was way too long winded to discover the book is identical in theory to Freida McFadden book Locked Door. Way too many similarities which is annoying. I would give it 2 starts I really struggled to read this book as there was alot of unnecessary information just as page fillers
