I had low expectations coming into this one. I’ve seen mixed reviews and reactions. It was a quick read, but it was a lot of exposition; I could have used a bit more dialog.
I didn’t connect to the main character at all, which I felt should have been important since we are inside her head the entire book.
It was a quick read, but I felt like the ending was abrupt, and it could have used a bit more character development.

I may have experienced a fleeting feeling of suspense, but it's more like watching a train wreck unfold than a real mystery novel. Reminiscent of the Black Mirror episode "Nosedive," we follow our protagonist's initial obsession into a prolonged mental breakdown.

SHE KILLED THE CAT. Captivating writing. Super uncomfortable main character, I liked how uncomfortable she was but ick she was uncomfortable to be with. But I can never truly like this book because SHE KILLED THE CAT. HOW COULD SHE? 2.5/5 for that alone.

Maybe 2.75? I genuinely have no idea what the point was. The writing was good but the story was all over the place.

love me a book about a woman’s descent into madness! think the rating of this suffers as it’s marketed as a thriller but it’s solidly one of those books that has no specific genre
