This book made me legit angry in the worst way possible. I don’t know how it ended up with 4 stars on here. Such immature writing and a terrible thriller piece, if I didn’t know any better I would say it was written by a 16 year old on wattpad. To all the people who think this is genuinely good thriller please read an actual thriller like Rebecca or anything by Shirley Jackson or Riley Sager. Or anything would be better than this honestly. (Gave it a .5 bc I got at least one emotion from reading this)

This book wasn’t quite as incredible as I expected it to be after hearing so many good things about it, but I definitely wasn’t disappointed. The plot is creative and unique. There was never a dull moment in this story.

Spoiler

I wish there was more closure at the end, rather than the book ending with a question.

Whoa. It’s clear early on that each of the main characters have their own baggage of trauma and flaws. What may never be clear is the truth each character hides, except for (maybe) Lowen. Colleen Hoover at it again with her incredible talent for depicting how complicated the human experience is.
