I didn't really enjoy this book, as I don't typically like stressful real-life-adjacent books when regular life is stressful enough. I read this book for a book club. I found the characters a little whiny, though I did like

the twist at the end. I had a feeling the whole book that it wasn't Jackie.

I'm so mad at wasting my time with this book. What was the intended message? My two takeaways are don't believe everything on the internet and all men suck. 

This story could have been so much more and I'm sad at the potential I thought it had but didn't live up to.

The part about Lewis broke my heart and was the only hard hitting point of the story.

Parts kept me on the edge of my seat, other parts were predictable.

This book had me gasping and yelling 😂

What an incredibly harrowing concept. I wish I could thank Yomi Adegoke personally for writing this 😳 

It keeps you guessing until the very end too. There was nary a moment where I was not hooked 🗣️

I thought I had clocked it when Celie started speaking to Ola about Michael, but NO! Aaron? Fucking eh! 😫

Highly recommend this one for an anxiety-inducing book! 4.5 out of 5 stars for me, thank you ✨ Content warnings below!

I loved this book. I was hooked within the first 10 pages. I really felt for Ola throughout & feel I would have reacted similarly. Likewise I found Michael to be a relatable character. The supporting characters also had depth in my opinion. I, personally think the ending/ last 2 chapters were great & round the book off nicely without feeling either rushed or protracted.
