Had a lot of feelings of frustration and confusion reading this book, but I kept wanting to read more. I needed to read how it ended. 

I will say that Joanne was just too naive for her own good at times. Richard was a dick every time he sided with Chloe during an argument between the three of them. Still had a fun time reading this twisty thriller.

Unreliable narrator who is incredibly stupid at the same time. Contradictory thoughts and behavior. Idek. I only finished reading because I wanted to know if my predictions were right. They were. Still not worth it.

This book was infuriating. I almost didn't make it through the first third, then it got a bit better, but the ending was just... so unsatisfying. There were a bunch of twists but the way it ultimately played out was predictable - which could have been fine if it had been properly wrapped up.
