I also figured out pretty much all of the twists in advance, so the book didn’t have me gasping.
it’s not a bad novel per se, but there are much better thrillers out there. I very much preferred The Paris Apartment.

I’m guessing that I was supposed to be happy with the ending, but it left me bittersweet. There is no justice at all, all the women hurt by Will are gonna continue to suffer because of what he did to them.Graphic: Fatphobia, Gaslighting, Self harm, Violence, Bullying, Mental illness, Misogyny, Murder, Panic attacks/disorders, and Physical abuse

I properly celebrated when Will died!!!The fact that Will was also Hannah’s sister’s bf felt like it pushed me out of how realistic it was. It was too much. I don’t feel an ounce of pity for Will in spite of his father
I was kind of disappointed by the ending. After so much effort went into demonstrating that Will was the most vile horrible person who carries the guilt of so many lives ruined, being quietly and quickly stabbed didn’t feel like justice. I wish the truth had gotten out. I wish they all had their moment to confront him. I don’t like the lack of closure on the trial for Jono - I know he deserved to be sentenced for the manslaughter of the young boy, but I just have to imagine that all the truth came out in the trial and true justice was served after Will’s death. I wish that had played out in the book though.
