The minute I started reading I literally didn’t stop until I finished it! I’d say that’s a good Saturday!

girl what. the plot itself was very mid, and the writing…the writing was terrible. the narrators on the audiobook did the best they could with what they were given which wasn’t much. i’m usually not a stickler for that, but i truly can’t get past how bad the writing was. 

it was entertaining at times, and the ending did surprise me. 
overall though, i would not recommend. much better thrillers out there y’all.

This is an easy, quick read.
The ending was rushed.
It's basically a sort of mind fucking plot. But it isn't because a lot of it was predictable. I also found the setting wasn't clear and strange, as well as the plot having too many holes.

The cheating husband was an asshole. But he didn't deserve this ending.

Normal people would just divorce.

But I get it. I do.

Yet, it is just psychopathic.
The wife killed the misstress and framed her husband for it.
Her partner, who she ends up having a kid with and marrying a day after her husband's execution, also crazy

Up until the last hour everything felt rushed and chaotic. But that last hours in the story with the "plot"twist was rushed and just sick. 

Lastly this felt like a low budget bad murder mysterie show.
