This is my first time reading a psychological thriller, and this book was such a page turner and I was surprised by the twists! I would say the first half was a tad slow and some of the last lines of the chapter were a bit cliche/basic. However, by the second half, the pace picked up and I couldn’t put the book down until I finished it 😅 The last quarter of the book was a little gruesome for me personally, so I’m not sure if I’ll read the sequel. But if you’re into psychological thrillers, I would recommend this as an easy, quick read.

This was highly recommended to me by a friend. It's not my usual genre but I gave it a shot. I'll be honest I found the characters personalities annoying for a long while into the book and at times wanted to just not listen to it anymore. But I figured that was probably on purpose so I better keep going and I'm so glad I did. I was not expecting anything that happened to happen. Mind blown. I am just so impressed by it. I wound up really enjoying it.
