NEINEINEINEIN!!!
Wie unglaublich schlecht kann man schreiben? Dümmliche Dialoge, Abziehbild-Charaktere, ein Klischee nach dem anderen.

Very odd story. Sadly I wasn’t that interested or captivated by the story or the characters. I like that Fielding tried to add some drama to the story but it still wasn’t enough for me. I would have given this one star but I will give it two since exactly what I wanted to happen ended up happening in the end.

Paige and her cousin, Heather, have a bit of a rivalry going on. They look close enough to be mistaken for twins, as their fathers were identical twins. Heather is always trying to get ahead of Paige, stealing her boyfriend, following her job choices, and all around making Paige miserable.
Paige is now trying out online dating sites. She tries to connect with Mr. Right Now, but things keep getting in her way. Fortunately for Paige she keeps missing connections as Mr. Right Now is a serial killer.
Chloe is Paige's best friend, and is in the middle of a tenuous relationship with her husband, Matt. Joan is Paige's mother, and is a widower, and is also starting to date after Paige's father's death. While Paige feels her life is going nowhere, she turns more frequently to communications with Mr. Right Now.
This story had some potential, but the conclusion was so obvious to me from the very beginning. I thought the conclusion was rather abrupt, as well, almost as if Ms. Fielding decided the book was long enough, and it was time to finish it and move on.

So I was really excited for this book.
The first chapter HAD me, I thought I was really going to enjoy this book. It had a very eery vibe, sounded like a tinder date gone wrong and I thought it was going to be great.
I was a little bit disappointed. I still really like the premise of the book and I think it has real potential to be such a thrilling book. It just fell a bit flat in reality.
It had thrilling parts here and there but most of it was about the women, and who they are rather than the killer, whom I expected it to be centred around.
I think maybe if it was advertised differently I wouldn’t have been so disappointed but I feel it’s just not the book it was advertised to be! Others might still enjoy it though!

This was a pretty good book.i thought it would be much better than it was. I thought the book would be mainly about a serial killer but the killer was just part of the “bigger picture”. Definitely a good read.

[ I would say 2.5/3 stars, but a weak 3 stars ]

I bought this book and almost immediately read it because the cover ( another one, with a tunnel/sewer and a girl walking inside it, looking lost, holding a phone) and the title made me quite curious. I was anticipating a story with more horror vibes, so I guess it’s kind of my fault.

At first, I was a bit bored but decided to continue. I wasn’t finding the story really captivating nor the characters ( except maybe Mr. Right Now ).
It just felt like the story could’ve been shorter, because some things were irrelevant. The only thing that I ended up wanting to know about was Chloe and Matt’s story. I found that more interesting than the actual plot, which I find was pushed aside.
By the way, I also found Chloe and Sam ( not even a main character ) to be more interesting that the others.

I definitely wasn’t expecting what happened at the end, with Heather. I also felt like it was rushed and the ending was, actually, the worst part of this book and I would even say the worst ending I’ve ever read ( even though I haven’t read many books in my life). I was expecting to go back to Heather or/and Mr. Right Now point of view(s)and then following the investigation and for the other victims get justice but it ended a bit abruptly for me. I wasn’t expecting a happy ending.

It's a family drama more than a thriller. I went in hoping more of a thriller with major plot twist but felt the most with the mother-daughter relationship and friendships. (Spoiler alert)



I needed to see how Mr. Right Now finds out Heather isn't Wildflower and how he kills her at the end... that would be a very satisfying ending.
