Some parts I was like… Emma is so stupid sorry. But this was a fun book. I didn’t really see the main “twist” or secret or whatever you want to call it beforehand. The one about the author stalker main guy was painfully obvious so idk if that was supposed to be a twist but that made me mad at emma. but anyway. I was glad it was more than just a thriller

This book is incredible, I loved it. It was my first introduction to this author and I picked up this book on a whim before I went on vacation. It took me a very short time to finish because it was very hard to put down; I kept wanting to know what happened next. The author is very good at writing compelling characters and created a beautiful plot line. At one point it does get a little frustrating because people keep “dying” but keep coming back, and in my opinion it happens way too much and at one point I stopped believing that anyone was actually dead. But otherwise I will pick up more books from this author!

Unfortunately I guessed 90% of the twists before they were revealed. Just okay for me.

Not my favourite kind of ending (it was okay), but the beginning was definitely 5 stars. 
Overall, I enjoyed it, even with all the somewhat silly parts.

The implications about topics like self publishing, particularly in the

horror

genre and the way

mental health especially psychological disorders

did not sit well with me. Some of it was tongue in cheek, but other parts felt too reliant on harmful stereotypes.

This book made me realize I'm not a dog person (sometimes) bc by the fourth near-miss with Laika I was so over it, I was rooting for her d3ath, ok. A dizzying, maybe overstayed story. It was a propulsive read but I didn't care much for Emma bc she felt too surface level and I was kinda annoyed by her. And there were a lot of cringe moments here: the author intruder being a neckbeard, alt-right, Andrew Tate listening, 4chan incel caricature; Taylor Adams describing Jules hair as "Karen haircut" (?), and the damn dog stuff that kept diminishing my enjoyment but it wasn't a terrible experience and it was sorta fun.
