I think this is my first 5 star rating in a very very long time. I devoured this. And it was my first ever audiobook listen!! This book took me by surprise. I knew nothing about it and only borrowed it because it was available to borrow instantly. I loved this one! It started out confusing but then quickly became very intriguing and interesting. The style of writing was great!! The characters were amazing and all likeable even though they were glaringly human. Loved this book and while I may reduce it to 4.75, it was brilliant and easy but also dark. Great lessons in there and very creative.

G O O D . 
I was hooked, all I kept thinking about was coming back to read this amazing book. 
It's so real. Too real. 
Brought up a lot of emotions, anger, frustration, empathy. 
I could sadly relate to too many aspects of the book. 
The inner monologue - self blaming, denial, comparison and so much more, is too accurate to people who suffer a relationship with narcissistic and manipulative people. 
The plot itself was also very gripping and enthralling. 
I thought about so many different twists, but not this one. 
Amazing, amazing book.

I love this book. It's suspenseful without being scary, and it really examines the complexity of relationships. I also very much enjoyed the narration.
