maeverose's review against another edition

This was my first attempt at a thriller, I only picked it for the cover tbh. I’d suggest skipping it.

The first third was somewhat interesting, but then it derailed for me. There are too many characters and povs, some of which seemed to have been thrown in unnecessarily. I also really don’t like to read about stalkers so it got a bit triggering for me. I looked up how it ends and it wouldn’t have been worth it to keep reading.

It also really felt like it was going to have a ‘childhood trauma and mental illness makes you homicidal or a stalker’ Kind of take, as the two antagonists seemed to be the only characters in the entire book with mental illness issues (besides Hannah’s mom, who was also just a shitty person). This came out last year. We’re done with that trope. That should never have been a trope to begin with.

Thankfully I got this for free at a little free library so I didn’t waste my money.
