My Thoughts:
You know, for years I've putting off reading thrillers because I thought they "weren't my thing". I have no idea why though because I had a blast reading this.
The plot twists were maybe a bit predictable but still fun and the ending was so satisfying. 10/10. No notes. The romance also have me giggling and kicking my feet a little ngl.
The rest of the author's books are immediately going on my TBR, especially with her bio saying she "writes dark, dramatic stories that support women’s rights—and also women’s wrongs". Sign me up.

Similar to Yellowface, I very much enjoyed this one without really liking a single character. Everyone is a bit too much of whatever they are but it works. The amplified emotion from the POVs you read make everything a little extra heightened and it works. The exaggeration to the point of killing.
Loved the twist about halfway through the book. Made it much more interesting to see the full story come together.
