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.

However, had I not spoiled it, it would’ve been an interesting plot twist and the foreshadowing is right there from the start. With that said tho, not a huge fan of leaving the main event til the end even though it’s talked about the beginning but at the same time, I enjoy Liane Moriarty’s weaving of events together particularly little subplots which keep you hooked onto the story. Especially that they deal with important real-life issues in this book too.
Onto the TV show now!!
