HOLY SHIT
WHAT
WOW
One sentence summary: I support women’s rights and I especially support women’s wrongs.
This is the best thriller I have read in a while MY GOD!!!! I absolutely loved this. I think my reading slump ruined it from being a 5⭐️ which is so unfortunate. It dragged a teeny bit in the middle but otherwise it was perfection. I loved how it didn’t follow the classic formula and it was like nothing I have ever read before! Definetly picking up more from this author!!!!!!!

Carly was really giving 2012 fanfiction main character with her “i’m not like other girls, no one would find plain old me attractive, i only wear black and Doc Martens” and it was annoying. the first major twist was good but i guessed the later one right away, so after

the halfway mark

the story felt predictable
